NATURE'S
HEALING
Mankind
has depended on healing sources and cures for illness long
before
the world of modern medicine. The rainforest of the earth have
yielded a pharmacy of drugs for healing and are full of yet
unclaimed
remedies for sickness and disease; yet this source is
rapidly depleting
due to ignorance and greed on the part of big
business in an uncaring
world dominated not
by compassion but by greed. Instead of taping
these resources for
what they can provide , pharmaceutical companies
are using
synthesised drugs instead of reaping the bounty that is already
here . The health industry is a money machine tying patients and
physicians
hands on how one is to be treated. It is sad that so
many dedicated doctors
and nurses have to look at a person as a
cost effective commodity rather
than a human being in need of
assistance. This page is an example of common
folk remedies for
various ailments and is not intended to replace the advice
of a
doctor. I find it interesting that in our own backyards there are
plants
that were once used for the cures of
our ancestors. When not prepared
properly some of these plants
killed and not healed, as it was a learning
process through the
years as many lives were sacrificed in the quest for knowledge.
Place your cursor over any plant below and look in the taskbar
and it will give you an idea how our forefathers used these
plants.
Most listed here can be found in your own backyard.
