Natural Remedies Overview
* Natural remedies are usually considered any and all substances, procedures and practices that work with the body’s natural processes instead of against them. The natural approach to treatment of a disease focuses on strengthening the entire body, determining any underlying health issues and restoring the whole person back to health. The intent is to let the body’s natural systems and defenses work as they were designed to do to restore health.
* Natural remedies have been successfully used to treat disease and encourage health for thousands of years; becoming the foundation for today’s modern medicine. It is the active ingredients in plants that are used by themselves as natural medicine, and also provide the basis for many synthetic drugs that mimic their healing properties.
* Within the body there are many individual systems that work independently, yet are all connected and dependent upon each other. Very specific nutrients are required for each body part or system. Deficiencies or excesses of individual nutrients lead to inadequate functioning of bodily systems, and promote illness. Restoration of health and proper bodily functioning is achieved when the proper levels and balance of individual nutrients is restored.
