Posted by samuelperth on July 3rd, 2013

Nowadays we are so used to relying on regular drug treatments that we sometimes completely forget that there are other, much safer, options on which we can rely. We are almost addicted to popping pills at every headache and we fail to see that this problem may be rooted in a simple lack of vitamins or in an improper alimentation. Even worse, to some people herbal and complementary therapies sound more like witchcraft than actual treatment. They could not be further for the truth, and, unfortunately, because of such mentality they fill their bodies with toxic substances which only manage to solve the medical problem temporarily or, in some cases, make it worse.

To those that have already embraced the benefits of natural treatments and therapies, there is no turning back, as they cannot bear the idea of ingesting chemically filled pills ever again. If you want to be part of this world where you can only experience the benefits of a therapy, without having to worry about side-effects, you must know exactly what kind of treatment is proper for you. This article will exemplify several popular treatments in the world of herbal & complementary therapies, as well as the conditions they address.

When it comes to physical and body therapies, one the most famous techniques is that of massage, as it not only manages to help people better face stress, but also reduce the pain associated with any type of illnesses. Massage helps people who are dealing with muscle and back pain, soreness, headaches. It can reduce the blood level, making the patient less probable to have problems with their tension. Last but not least, massage is a highly essential part in neurological physiotherapy and, some specialists might argue, can even boost the immune system. Combined with aromatherapy, a few sessions of massage per week, have done wonders for people dealing with mental conditions, as it is one of the most relaxing and stress relieving techniques out there. 

When it comes to more serious illnesses, which can only be treated with drug ingestion, herbal medicine stands as the nature’s alternative to regular pills. Plants have been used for thousands of years to cure and help treat several diseases, proving to be highly efficient in situations in which modern medicine has failed to work. Herbal medicine can be used in the treatment of anxiety, arthritis, asthma, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, migraines, nausea, as well as eczemas and other skin problems.
