If you are suffering from virtually any disease or condition, there is a natural remedy that can help heal you. In many parts of the world, herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to cure disease and improve quality of life.

There are numerous forms of alternative or herbal medicines. Some of the most widely used are Chinese Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Herbalism, and Aromatherapy. Below are summaries of these types of medicine. At the bottom check out the links for natural remedies. We are constantly adding more pages and intend to cover a natural remedy for virtually every disease.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

One of the oldest forms of medicine in the world is Chinese Herbal Medicine. There are written herbal remedies that are over 2000 years old and it is believed that some of them are as old as 5500 years and were passed down orally until they were written down in the 3rd century BC.

Chinese Herbal Medicine focuses on much more than a natural remedy for a disease. It focuses on total body harmony and believes that there is a life force in each of us called “qi” (pronounced “chee”). This life force is responsible for our overall health. Remedies focus on optimizing our chi.

Ayurveda Medicine

Ayurveda is another form of holistic medicine that is the traditional medicine in India. It has been practiced for around 3,000 years. Ayurveda means “wisdom of life” and focuses on treating the body and the mind together to achieve optimal health.

According to Ayurveda philosophies, a large part of our health is dependent on spiritual things like evil spirits, planetary alignment, and acts of gods. Even if you don’t believe in the spiritual aspect, you can benefit from Ayurveda remedies. One of the most appealing things about this form of medicine is that an Ayurveda natural remedy is safer than traditional medicine because it is made from natural ingredients and has far fewer side effects.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is another form of holistic medicine. Many people think of homeopathy as the same thing as herbal medicine, but that is not necessarily true. Homeopathy seeks to treat diseases with the philosophy that “like cures like”. This means that when you have a disease, you will be treated with a medicine causes similar symptoms to what you have.

The principles of homeopathy go back to Hippocrates around 2500 years ago, but weren’t formalized as homeopathic medicine until 200 years ago. It was formally developed by Samuel Hahnemann and comes from the Greek words homios which means like and pathos which means suffering. One of the most interesting things about homeopathy is that many of the treatments are made from poisonous ingredients like rattlesnake venom which have been extensively diluted.
