Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Herbs as cures are well accepted now and more than half the population in advanced and developed economies and more than 75% of the population in developing and underdeveloped countries use herbs to cure diseases. The irony is that just like the pharmacy industry you now have a very strong herbalist lobby trying to sell their knowledge and herbs for profit. Profit by itself is not a bad word but profit at the cost of somebodies life and health can not be justified. To earn profit if you are playing with the health and life of fellow human beings then it is a more grievous offence than homicide. Now that there is acceptance of the alternative medicine stream the need of the hour is to keep this system clean of greedy experts wanting to make money in a way little different from what FDA and a chunk of pharmacy companies did. The requirements are 1. Knowledge about the diagnosis of the symptoms. 2. Identifying the nature and magnitude of the ailment. 3. The herb to be used to cure the same. 4. Sourcing the herb in the pure form 5. Administering the same in the form of a recipe along with other herbs 6. Precautions and other practices to be adopted. Now each of this issue has numerous books offering guidance. In this article we will try to understand point no3 about sourcing and go a step ahead in growing the herb in the neighborhood. It's very easy to grow herbs, which act better than powerful medicines to lower your cholesterol, protect your heart, reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, enhance nervous system function, and protect you from diabetes and many other chronic diseases. The main difference would be the NO SIDE EFFECT CERTIFICATE WHICH NOTHING ELSE CAN GIVEYOU. Every plant is a pharmaceutical factory provided by nature. It's like a multi-million dollar pharmaceutical laboratory that takes raw materials and converts them into healing medicines. It does this free of charge, without asking anything back from you other than a little bit of care, some water, and some sunlight. If you think about how plants operate, they're quite remarkable manufacturing engines. They take nutrients out of the soil, carbon dioxide out of the air, water, and photons from sunlight. Then, through a complex system of metabolism and photosynthesis, plants manage to convert those elements into healing phytonutrients, including vitamins, enzymes, heart-healthy oils, fiber, proteins, and complex carbohydrates. Plus they produce all of these fantastic photochemical, which had been studied and perfected by civilization centuries ago. Since written records as well as the societies which practiced them had been destroyed these were lost. Now that modern science is proving these things right people have started looking at these herbs with renewed interest. For nearly every chronic disease, there is a plant that can treat it. Are you battling cancer? Grow yourself some garlic, onions, and broccoli. Are you battling high cholesterol? Grow and eat some blueberries. Are you suffering from macular degeneration? You can grow a wide variety of berries. If you're in the right climate, you can grow nut trees that provide heart-healthy oils right off the tree. In fact, regardless of what type of climate you're in, there are plants as healing medicine that can be grown in your region, whether you're in the great white north, or the jungles of Central America. Whether you're in a dry desert climate, the plains, forest, rainforest, swampland, the icy north, the Rocky Mountains, or the Smoky Mountains, there are plants you can grow that will help heal you. Small nurseries in every locality is not a difficult thing if you have the knowledge about what grows best in the climatic conditions of the locality. Awareness alone is enough for the public at large to take interest in the same. With that end in mind we have published a website giving information about the various cures that are recommended and treated by herbs. www.herbsandcures.com lists more than 500 diseases and their cures using various herbs with details about administering the herb and the combination to be used. The primary requirement for herbal cure to succeed is the purity of the herb being used. Fresh plucked herbs can alone guarantee purity. It is not that extracts and herbal concentrates are all spurious but the fact remains that not all herbal extracts available are genuine. With a broad minded view we try to propagate the belief in society at large that having a herbal park should be a social goal. Every tiny village town or city having human population and other infrastructure facilities should also have a herbal farm. The bottom line here is that the power of the herbal cure to be fully utilized and enjoyed by the society will require the society first to create a pool of pure herbal plants available in all places. After all, who needs to build a $100 million drug factory when nature can manufacture all the medicine you need for the price of a handful of seeds? Let nature build the medicines. Trust in nature, not synthetic drug labs. Anand Damani. www.herbsandcures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
