I admit that I am very little enthusiastic about going to the doctor on a regular basis. I hate injections, taking medicine, and taking tests. Fortunately, I am in good health; Even so, it is true that I have suffered some illnesses that have forced me to go to the doctor.
An example of the aforementioned was a hernia that I had as a child for which I had to undergo surgery. I have a cholinergic allergy that I live with every day and with which I must take medication when it becomes very irritating.
The urticaria that I suffer is a disease that I treat with conventional medicine. I have not found natural medicine that helps reduce the symptoms caused by the disease itself.
Now, I also deal with other conditions that although they are not minor, I know how to treat them with alternative medicine. This is the case with my anxiety and panic attacks. I also treat stress-related ailments like my irritable colon in the same way. Even migraines and PMS are controlled with alternative medicine.
The Cure May Be Worse Than The Disease
You may be wondering why I choose to treat myself with alternative medicine and Ayurveda. It's simple, although chemical medicine is very good at treating obvious diseases, there is a wide possibility that you will get sick from other things.
I will give a simple example of something that happened to my mother last year. We went to the clinic to be treated for her tachycardia. These were sporadic but strong; my mom was already fed up with them. The doctor prescribed a drug complex to treat blood pressure. The situation is that my mother never suffered from blood pressure problems, but he linked tachycardia to this. It turned out that this medicine made the tachycardias worse; they were not stronger, but more frequent. This caused her to spend almost every day for 6 months, bedridden because she was weak and cold.
With this medicine, you have to be careful because you cannot stop taking it radically, as it can cause death. If she wanted to stop taking it, she had to reduce the dose gradually; which he did. Then he went to another doctor who prescribed an equally delicate but effective medication. Now my mother takes medicine, but at the same time, she helps herself with aromatic waters that keep her calm. This option is very good because it allows you to be more in control of yourself.
Not All Ills Can Be Treated With Alternative Medicine
It is necessary to clarify that not all diseases can be treated with Ayurveda or alternative medicine. This is not a campaign to stop you from taking medication if you have serious illnesses. This is an invitation that if you deal with medical conditions that do not endanger your life, look for complementary traditional medicine alternatives.
It is important that you know that there are medications that cannot be stopped using just because. Check with your doctor about the consequences of this.
Benefits of Alternative Medicine
What led me to opt for alternative medicine is that I don't fill my body with chemicals. However, the benefits are much more than interesting than this.
No Side Effects
When you treat a disease or a disease with plants (Phytotherapy) either through infusions, ointments, the risk of suffering from any side effect is really low.
Complements Medical Treatments
Suppose that -as in the case of my mother- you have a chronic disease that requires yes or yes chemical medicine, you can reduce the side effects of this with herbal medicine, for example.
The same can happen to lessen the effects of chemotherapy and thus improve the quality of life of the patient.
Of course, the most appropriate thing is to consult your family doctor to guide you whether or not it is appropriate in your case.
Your Skin Health Improves
When it comes to skin ailments, a correct treatment with alternative medicine can solve it. In my case, I sometimes use Aloe Vera to treat my allergy to heat, as it is very effective and refreshing. My mother also uses plant treatments to treat her erysipelas.
Relieves Infections And Inflammations
Something that we also usually do is treat minor infections with plant baths such as calendula. This is effective in relieving fever and helps heal open wounds very effectively.
The flu and colds we also tend to control with alternative medicine because we find that if we turn to chemical medicine, the next flu is more intense.
As you can see, alternative medicine is a very healthy prevention method. This is because it helps the immune system to get stronger.
There Are Many Alternatives
Alternative medicine is not just about knowing how to use plants. It is more to resort to all kinds of techniques that help you maintain your mental and emotional peace and; of course, your physical health.
At the very least, to calm anxiety and panic attacks, I usually resort to meditation. There are people who turn to yoga to relax and achieve harmony and peace of mind. Others use acupuncture to lose weight, control chronic pain among others.
As you can see, there are many areas in which healing techniques as old as the same time can improve your quality of life without deteriorating it. Despite that, you are always the owner of treating yourself as you see fit and effective.
