There Are Proven And Effective
Folk Remedies
All of us are familiar with
the allopathic form of medicine. Your doctor, who prescribes pills to rid
you of your ills, is in all probability, an allopathic practitioner. A vast
majority of the doctors in the world today are practitioners of allopathic
medicine. In fact, a vast majority of individuals around the world know no
other form of medicine than the allopathic way. But some of you may prefer
to be treated under the homoeopathic genre. In this case, the pills are not
bitter. In fact, they are sugar coated globules, which are coated with the
extract of the medicine and have been proven to work. People who are
allergic to allopathic medicines, or who have known reactions to allopathic
courses of medicine use the homoeopathic form of treatment.
Apart from these two major forms of treatment, there also exist other widely
practiced forms of medicine like Unani, Ayurvedic and acupuncture. Although
a vast majority of Americans may be unfamiliar with these forms of medicine,
they are proven and effective folk remedies, which have become a part and
parcel of medicine worldwide. Care must be taken to differentiate folk
remedies from faith healing, shamanic healing and other unscientific forms
of treatment. These too are common in many cultures, but they are hardly
scientific. Folk remedies on the other hand, are information rich remedies
that have been passed down from generation to generation, in several
cultures across the globe. While they may appear to be unscientific and even
unhygienic, folk remedies are the result of intense research and development
by our forefathers. These folk remedies are still used, with great
beneficial results, in parts of the world like China and India. And unlike
other traditional folk remedies, they continue to remain very much a part
and parcel of everyday life.
Take India for instance. This is the land where ayurveda has been a tried,
tested and accepted form of medicine for not just decades or centuries, but
for millennia. The western world is only now discovering the benefits and
riches of these folk remedies. Places like Kerala and the Himalayas in India
offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in this most ancient of folk
remedies. And those who take the plunge, come back not just healed, but
refreshed as well. For like several other folk remedies, ayurveda too uses
ingredients only from purely natural herbs and shrubs. No artificial or man
made technologies or ingredients are used. While this has resulted in
several people viewing such folk remedies as naturotherapy, it is a whole
lot more. It not only repairs and refreshes the body. It also rejuvenates
it, creating a natural balance that modern living has destroyed.
This is precisely how the Chinese folk remedies work. Based on the principle
of yin and yang, these folk remedies attempt to bring the human body in
balance with nature. Based on a balanced elemental nature of living things,
these folk remedies believe that not being in harmony with nature causes ill
health. They therefore attempt to regulate that balance and restore health.
