The Benefits Of Alternative Healing Practices

By Rochelle Hardin


There is an element of truth in the saying health is wealth when viewed from the perspective of pharmaceutical companies. The rising health costs and exorbitant cost of obtaining some drugs supports the notion. However, alternative healing systems provide a way for people to improve their health, prevent illnesses and recover from sickness at a lower cost.

One of the things that accounts for exorbitant health bills is treating the same sickness over and over again. To the casual observer, it would seem that orthodox medicine is yet to find a permanent solution to the diseases that ails humans. For example, when someone is down with fever and he treats it, there is still the probability that the person may still be down with fever at another time.

Conversely, alternative medicine is interested in finding a permanent treatment for most illnesses. For instance, the practitioners of holistic healing believes that most physiological diseases are a result of some emotional problem. Thus, they always look for the cause of illnesses instead of combating the effect.

In addition, holistic treatments are interested in making patients healthy in all the major aspects of their life. There are treatments for psychological health, emotional health as well as spiritual health. More importantly, the physiological health receives enough attention, thus it could be said that it is concerned with a sound mind in a sound body.

A point that most people will love is that using this health system is a great way to save money. The cost of the treatment is may be split over many installment payment. This is surely a great improvement over exorbitant hospital bills. More so, the some herbal remedies can be made in the home for little or no cost. This is because most of the herbs can be planted in the home garden.

Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when opting for alternative healing practices. This is due to the fact that the standardization of some drugs are still under probability. More so, the right dosage to be administered are still far from being stable especially for home remedies. In addition, conventional medicine still has much to offer and it may not be smart to ignore it totally.
