Health History of Alternative Medicine Therapies and Meditation

We are so fortunate to live in an age where there are so many choices for health care. Many people have made the move from conventional to alternative medicine, and once through the proverbial door, have never looked back. The health benefits from alternative medicine therapies and meditations are abundant and popular, too, with an estimated 1 in 3 cases choosing alternative medicine.  

Why is this? Why do people seem to be abandoning the allopathic medical doctors of the world and flocking to the care of alternative practitioners? Why has the health insurance industry noted this and started to tentatively cover some, but not all, alternative medicine therapies – even meditation in rare cases?

Because alternative therapy works! How easily we forget that since man’s time on this earth began, he has used natural methods of health care for himself and his family? He didn’t have much choice, as nothing else existed at that time to use for routine care and healing, save perhaps a miracle from God. The herbs, minerals, and other substances were placed here by a Higher Power for just that purpose ever since the Prehistoric period in history. And, Prehistoric man made good use of them. The designated “medicine man” kept everyone in his family, and more than likely anyone else who asked, in good health with alternative medicine therapies and meditation.

In a way, prehistoric man was a lot like the alternative medicine doctors of today. Herbal potions were used, as well as a healthy dose of common sense. So, herbs have been in use for thousands of years. That should tell us that there must be something in the practice worth passing from generation to generation. Herbs used for health in alternative medicine therapies, and meditation used for stress relief and relaxation are safe and reliable ways to build good health. Unlike prescription drugs, they have no side effects.

Herbs have a place in good health when used as alternative medicine therapies along with meditation.  They help the body to cleanse itself and get rid of toxins, and allow it to reach the state where it is able to heal itself. Even conventional doctors are aware that herbs can improve the health of their patients when used as alternative medicine. Many of them are willing to work with their patients who have embraced the alternative medicine way of life.

Health can improve with alternative medicine therapies and meditation. Your body will heal itself with the proper treatment, and stress can become a thing of the past with meditation. Alternative medicine truly cultivates a sense of well-being.
