Alternative Medicine Aloe Vera - No Wonder They Call It The Miracle Plant Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family.

Pyrethre: Pest Terminator History Herbs and Essential Oils Powerful Medicine We can find many beneficial uses for natural herbs and their essential oils in our lives. The essential oils contain the concentrated part of the herb. Using the herb in its purest oil form can allow us to store it for longer periods of time. We can use less of it this way due to the concentration in the oils. A little goes a long way. Health Benefits of Noni Juice Noni Juice, Morinda Citrifolia Reflexology Therapy Reflexology therapy, (an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians), is also a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet, hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems. Homeopathy Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine used for over 200 years. Introduced to America in the early 1800s, homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars ("like cures like").

Hypertension, An Alternative Approach For many years high blood pressure has been defined based upon actuarial tables prepared by life insurance companies. By that definition, blood pressure of 140/90 is borderline hypertension in a person 40 years of age. The suppressed fact is that blood pressure should rise by 5 points for every decade of life. Therefore, 145/95 is borderline hypertension in a person of 50 years old; 150/100, in a person 60 years of age, etc. However, that standard is almost never applied in prescribing high blood pressure medications.

Activities that allow us to connect with our hearts and feelings help us learn how to "be" and they are a mighty important contribution to living an EnergyRichlife.

Age and gender also influence your risk of heart disease. Allergy Approaches through Lifestyle What we do is just as powerful as what we eat to keep ourselves operating at our very best health. This applies to taking care during allergy season as well. So, again, instead of just popping a pill and trekking ahead as usual. Try taking care instead.
