Traditionally, medicine has been seen as an aid to fighting the bugs and repairing the bones of our day to day lifestyle. But that view point is changing and that change is happening rapidly Today lifestyle choices are impacting on our health, alarmingly changing our lifetime expectation.
With our modern day obsession for acquiring bigger houses , hotter autos, more exotic holidays we are giving up quality for quantity and what suffers the most is our own health. Our lifestyles is literally depleting our own natural resources and we are not replenishing these drained reserves. Any form of natural immune system boosters is being ignored. The frightening consequence is, our health status is severely shortened.
Increasingly the same conditions are sapping away at our health; obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer. Their occurrences becoming more common by the day. We seem to have blind faith that medical science will ‘cure all’..
Undoubtedly medicine has made huge strides in helping us regain our health but unfortunately this success is almost counter productive. Today we seem to want to pass over the responsibility of our health to anyone but ourselves. “Let science sort it out”.
We are not taking responsibility for our own actions and aspirations. Perhaps it’s this attitude that has led to an extraordinary level of expectation by patients in the antibiotic treatments , and putting doctors are under ever increasing pressures to conjure up immediate results.
Although the results are not as instantaneous as conventional medication the use of an herbal antibiotic should be considered. The distinct advantages of this type of medication is that they are designed to focus upon the ailment whilst at the same timeboosting the body’s immune system. Typically we can look at a tiredness remedy that also provides immune system boosters.
As a source of medication herbs are too often overlooked as a critical factor in our food chain to support and strengthen the immune system. Their anecdotal reputation has been obtained after substantial use by our forefathers. But their use has shown herbs are capable of feeding the immune system as well as fighting many of the ills to which we are susceptible.
Herbs need not be an added expense; you can grow them yourself on a windowsill or in a small garden. You can dry them yourself; then you’ve got herbs all year around. Even if you cannot grow them yourself there are a number of quality suppliers which will be able to provide herbs at a costyou find acceptable. There’s the convenience of herbal teas, the reputation of Chinese medicinal herbs or perhaps you want to use fresh herbs in your daily cook pot? Then again there’s the homeopathic option.
