Definitions

What's a "cure"?
Note that a “cure” and a “remedy” have roughly the same definition –- that of some sort of therapy which gets rids of disease or relieves pain. I thus use the terms quite interchangeably.

However, the term “cure” has to be read cautiously as, in my opinion, it often gives the mistaken idea of a “magic bullet” (i.e. nothing else has to be done). In addition, conventional allopathic medicine has to some extent tried to monopolize the term.

What we must realize, is that nothing -- no herb, food, drug, chemical or substance -- actually really cures anything. It is the human body, when given the right support and assistance, which cures itself, sorting out systemic imbalances and restoring itself to health.

What about "medicine"?
Generally speaking, I’m also not in favor of using the term “medicine” as it has come to be associated with conventional allopathic medicine and / or drugs. Thus, I don’t use terms such as “natural health medicine”, “organic medicine”, “natural alternative medicine” or even “alternative natural medicine”.


Using Natural Health Remedies correctly and effectively

Now, the effects of an unhealthy body manifest themselves in various kinds of pains, discomforts or symptoms, via very complicated processes, many of which we have yet to understand. It is thus often difficult to pinpoint the exact weaknesses and causes of certain conditions in the body. Even then, there do exist certain natural health cures or organic remedies which target and alleviate very specific health problems and issues.

I ask that these cures and remedies be taken in the proper context of things. What do I mean? While these methods may fix certain issues, true and deep health can only be obtained via a holistic change to one’s diet and lifestyle. A good foundation would be to follow the good health habits suggested on this website. Following these steps to good health would also strengthen the effectiveness of the natural health remedies and cures mentioned in this section.

One would also have to exercise control and restraint in other ways. For example, if one has a digestive complaint, then it would be a good idea to stay away from foods which over-stimulate the digestive system. In the case of a headache, quality sleep would be important. Or, if one has high cholesterol levels, then certain foods would have to be avoided. Without such efforts, any natural health cure or natural health remedy used would only be a short-term fix and be hampered in its effectiveness.
