HERBAL THERAPIES
Herbal medicines are prepared from a wide variety
of plant materials - frequently the leaves, stems, roots, and bark, but
also the flowers, fruits, twigs, seeds, and exudates (material that oozes
out, such as sap). They generally contain several biologically active ingredients
and are used primarily for treating chronic or mild conditions, although
on occasion they are employed as complementary or supportive therapy for
acute and severe diseases.
HOLISTIC MEDICINE
Holistic medicine is the art and science of healing
that addresses the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. In practice this
means that every person is seen as a unique individual, rather than an example
of a particular disease. Disease is understood to be the result of physical,
emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance. Healing therefore
takes place naturally when these aspects of life are brought into proper
balance.
HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy is a method of healing based on the
idea that like cures like; that is, that substances causing specific symptoms
in a healthy person can cure these symptoms in someone who is sick. The
remedies are prepared from plant, mineral, and animal extracts that are
highly diluted in a specific way that makes toxicity impossible and, paradoxically,
increases their potential to cure.
HONEY AND CINNAMON
Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January,1995 gave the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take honey and cinnamon daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

the resources of the unconscious mind to bring about psychological and physical
benefits.
HYPNOSIS
| The British Medical Journal recently published findings from a team of experts from Kings College London who have been investigating irritable bowel syndrome. What they discovered is that there is increasing evidence to show that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has psychological causes as well as physiological ones and these can be alleviated with hypnosis.
This led to the recommendation that doctors would be wise to suggest psychological treatments such as hypnosis and antidepressants to patients with IBS. This is particularly in light of the observation that the regular medicines provided to IBS sufferers do not work fully and sometimes even not at all.
IBS has several symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea and regular abdominal pain to name a few. Scientists are now thinking that the drugs being administered are not really effective because in the majority of IBS cases the causes are a combination of physical and mental factors.
Consultant Dr Ian Forgacs, gastroenterologist at Kings College said:
"Patients with irritable bowel syndrome should be made aware of the existence of these treatments so that they can make informed choices,"
and "specifically, they should be made aware that using a psychological treatment does not mean that the disease is 'all in the mind'." Dr Forgacs discovered that "talking-therapies" like cognitive behavioral therapy produced the best results especially in the more distressed patients.
When hypnosis was used the therapist would focus on relaxation and get the patient to imagine a river flowing rapidly and then get them to imagine it flowing smooth and slow.
Dr Forgacs added that despite the success achieved by using hypnosis and other therapeutic practices there were a shortage of skilled therapists available so not all IBS sufferers would be able to avail of this method. |
