Looking At Natural Alternatives To Prescription Drugs

By Phyllis Schroeder


It is almost like reverting to another era to eschew modern drugs for natural remedies. Looking at natural alternatives to prescription drugs is not a modern way of thinking. But it is a wise approach, given the harmful side effects that are possible. With the Internet, there is a brave new world out there of products and answers for anything that ails you. We are discovering old ways for the first time.

It is easier to find out about alternative approaches now that we have the World Wide Web. We can follow treatment from the privacy of our own homes or can contact experienced specialists. A new way to the future is upon us as we learn how alternative therapies can heal our bodies and reinvigorate our minds. Illness and disease are treated from a vastly different perspective.

Western medicine is fine, but if you are balking at the cost and side effects, a new road to good health is awaiting. Many have turned to NCCAM for vital information. This organization has helped modern patients come to terms with the various categories of treatment that assist them in choosing what is best for their needs.

This organization performs the service of classifying the various therapeutic alternatives into categories. It is a general system that helps patients understand their treatment methodology. We view it in a different way than centuries ago when they were first developed. Many are part of a larger philosophical/spiritual system you can enter as you receive treatment. It enriches the experiences and enhances the process. The categories commonly employed to describe alternative medical systems are: Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese and Tibetan Medicine, and Native American ones.

Looking at the subject further, we can see that energy therapy has become increasingly popular. Biofield deals with the body and how it can be made to cure itself by relying on its own energy. The use of touch is instrumental, as seen in Reiki, therapeutic Touch, and Qi Gong. By contrast, bioelectromagnetic therapy uses outside energy fields for curing.

Another approach is mind-body intervention. Mind control is employed in various ways according to the beliefs of the healer. Recovery from illness is entirely possible after a meeting of the minds. The brain learns to send messages to areas of the body that have been affected. It is clearly an example of mind over matter.

Finally, mention should be made of manipulative methods that address the body by means of massage therapy or chiropractic treatment. They are perhaps among the most well-known types of alternative or holistic medicine. External pressure does it work to cure patients, and it is often within a short period of time.

Choosing a form of alternative medicine is a personal preference and it may depend on the nature of one's injuries or ailments. Different approaches work on different problems. Recovery is not absolute with any one program. However, entering the alternative medicine arena will undoubtedly give you a leg up on your physical issues and promote faster, long-lasting improvement.
