There are two main classes of medicinal preparations - herbal and pharmaceutical. Pharmaceutical drugs are either synthesized or refined substances. On the other hand, herbal medicine is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as labelled and final medicinal products containing parts of plants (underground or aerial), plant materials, or combinations of both, as their main active ingredient.

In this modern age, there are few things as important as managing our health in the most healing and beneficial way possible. The problem arises when we flush chemical, man-made antibiotics into our bodies to try and get rid of infections and other problematic issues our bodies face. If we don't take care of ourselves and take a lot of preventative measures, we have to resort to high-functioning chemicals that not only kill the bad bacteria in our bodies, but also the good bacteria that helps us to stay healthy.

Herbal medicine is a lot cheaper than conventional medicine. It also has fewer side effects compared to drugs sold in the market. Herbs are also highly versatile.

There is endless wisdom in the medicinal practices of ancient civilizations. People who didn't have the opportunity to rely on modern technology were not capable of the same chances at longevity and health that we are in modern times. However, it is important to remember that the drugs we are using now are still in their infancy, and may come with more problems than solutions in some cases.

Basic home remedies are treatments that can cure or help you manage a disease with the use of spices, condiments, and other items that can be commonly found around your home or easily bought from the local market. This kind of practice has been done over the years. Living with certain conditions is manageable with items you probably never imagined have medicinal properties. Two of them--coconut oil and apple cider vinegar--will be thoroughly discussed in this audiobook.

We all dream of living a healthy and well-balanced life. In today's modern world, we are bombarded with many treatments and remedies that we become confused as to what really works and what doesn't. As much as we would love to try them all, it is not wise to spend our precious time on guesswork. It is important to note that not all herbs will work he same on everyone.

In the past many people considered herbal remedies to be folklore, old wives' tales, and overall ineffective remedies. We became reliant on medication for everything and less focused on the effects of the chemicals we were putting in our bodies. Maybe it can be attributed to the influx of international information that is now readily available through the Internet; maybe it can be attributed to the diversity that the United States is now enjoying due to modern immigration, or maybe it is more of a need to simplify.

Every day, more and more Americans make unhealthy decisions that cause their health to falter.

Disasters occur unexpectedly. Everyone, both rich and poor, suffer from the same effects and even lose lives in extreme cases. What makes the difference is the level of preparation done in facing these significant events. Some people tend to be complacent because they live in disaster-safe locations. Living in a large, professionally-constructed home in luxurious communities make some people feel as if they are invincible from disasters.

The idea of prehistoric medicine is a thought-provoking subject. What kinds of plants did people, before modern medicine was around to lean on, use to cure themselves and fight through illness? While it is true that our lifespan on average has increased over the years with newly emerging technology, the fact remains that there are times when nature's cures may be a lot more beneficial to us.

Many people, especially the inventors of modern technology, often assume that creating better technology is the key to giving people a better way of life. This assumption is true in some respects. However,what very few people seem to understand is that technology also serves to worsen the stress level of the people who are using it. The faster a gadget or a mechanism works, the bigger the pressure on the individual to do or accomplish more feats. This often leads people to feel more harried and less relaxed.

The world is full of people who just take medicine at every minute sign of sickness. Doctors prescribe antibiotics after five-minute checkups because their patients' symptoms could possibly need antibiotics for treatment. Aspirin has become a regular part of most people's diets: one in the morning, one at night. And if you are feeling a little lively that day, maybe you'll take another at lunch.

I am tired of relying on pharmaceuticals and chemicals to deal with everyday common illnesses, from a cold to a headache to high blood pressure. Every medication we use, no matter how common or well researched, comes with intended and unintended effects. Some of these, such as the intended effects, are desired, like pain relief when taking pain relief medication. The problem is the unintended effects these medications cause in the body.

Why is ancient medicine the best medicine? Simply because it's been around for so long. Most drugs that your doctor will prescribe are produced in a lab and sold by large drug companies. Of course, these drugs have their place and do save some a lot of people from death or chronic illness. However, what is concerning is that so many ailments can be healed and so many symptoms can be eased by merely checking out what is already in your spice cabinet.

Essential oils have been known for centuries to help people with their common health problems and beauty needs.
