Yes, you are correct. Ayurvedic medicine has a very long history. It is a science of health the empahsizes prevention, stay healthy as far as possible.
It is "personalized medicine" at its best. According to Ayurveda, all of us have a unique "cosntitution" defined by a mix of Doshas: Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Our unique Dosha combination defines our physical and emotional make-up, what foods are best, what health conditions we are susceptible to, and more.
To find out your Dosha go to Nature’s Formulary web site by clicking here and take their Dosha.
By the way try Nature’s Formulary Chyawanprash, this is made using the original thousands years old recipe. It is an herbal fruit jam that tastes great for the immune system.

Hey there,

I became interested in alternative treatments a couple of years ago and so I tried acupressure with my second pregnancy. Although I was skeptical at first I was pleasantly surprised when it actually worked to lessen the pain from my contractions and I was able to give brth without asking for any painkillers.

If alternative practices had the funds to conduct clinical trials to gather empirical data, indeed if gathering such data held the prospect of generating funds, they’d be a lot less ‘alternative’.
If Pharmaceutical Companies had an interest in health rather than maximising profits (by making sure a return to health was delayed) again alternative therapies would be studied.
I’m sure we could learn a lot from Chinese and Indian practitioners.

Having been recomended to magnet therapy by a friend who is a doctor – I have now used magnet therapy for many years wearing a proper strength magnet bracelet from a reputable company and have found this to be fantastic for aches and pains and my general sense of well being. Even my blood pressure has come down – so my tablets have decreased, which can only be good. Since then I have found out so many people do use this natural therapy and i believe they are using a magnet pulse on the brain to help with depression now approved by the FDA.

If you have a medical issue, you should seek the counsel of a qualified medical practitioner, doctor or physician.
We do not advocate one treatment over another or recommend that you take health matters in your own hands by self-diagnosing any condition or treating yourself without the benefit of checking with a doctor first.
With that said, there are plenty of documented studies and plenty of scientific research pointing to the benefits of natural medicine and plant based or plant derived products that can help to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of certain conditions.
There are clinical studies that have been done throughout the world on such things as Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and dozens of other botanical products. The medicinal properties of raw Garlic have been known for centuries as well as the anti-bacterial properties of honey, which has been used in biblical times for a wound healing agent.
Western medicine has helped save lives and many traditional treatments are vital and necessary to a person's health. However, there may be limitations to conventional treatments for cancer like chemotherapy and radiation. While I do not say that there is a cure for certain types of cancers, there are those people who have used alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ozone therapy to help rid themselves of cancer. Why some studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped stroke victims and those suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Here are some sad facts of Alternative Medicine in the US:
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.

In medical lawsuits, well-meaning but misinformed juries rule against doctors unless they've used conventional drugs, surgery and radiation.

Doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.

Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.

The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.

Doctors may lose their right to see their patients in hospitals.

Yet, to this day, thousands upon thousands of people stricken with all kinds of serious medical conditions have felt the inadequacy of traditional or conventional medicine and have sought out alternative treatments, whether they be approved by the AMA or FDA.
Whether it is Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic or Holistic Medicine, there are other therapies and natural approaches to diseases and many of them work better than the recommended protocols and without many of the harmful side effects.
