HERBAL THERAPY with GRANDMA’S REMEDIES

I use two phrases, "Herbal Therapy" and "Herbal Remedy" interchangeably, not unusual for writers. In my mind, remedy is a one-time correction.  To me, therapy is on-going. Is this accurate according to our dictionary?

According to the dictionary, Therapy means "remedial treatment". According to the dictionary, Remedy means "correct" or "cure". Most people will agree with these definitions. However, both these imply imperfection or dis-ease. With therapy, it is ongoing and with remedy, it is instant. Regardless, with both of these, we focus on imperfection or dis-ease; we create or enhance these bodily problems through our thoughts.

From my perspective, we ARE perfect. Our busy lives push us out of balance easily and frequently, forcing the need to regularly re-align our bodies. Food and exercise both re-align us. Do we use it for this purpose? Not always.

When used regularly, Herbal Therapy slips us back into alignment.  When we need stronger action, an herbal remedy is there.   An herbal remedy does not always correct imperfection or heal dis-ease but they certainly bring our bodies back into alignment, supplying missing nutrients. I encourage readers to look at these pages with this outlook in mind.  The key point to remember is: -- We are all perfect, we just follow different paths.

Relying upon the surrounding plants for healing has been part of earth life, long before the written word, before labels. Although our dictionary accredits the words “herb” and “herbal” to old French, Latin and Middle English periods, we know the herbal remedy practice came from times long before then.

As hunter-gatherers, people reached for a specific plant. In ancient communal living, specialists, shamans or witch doctors, cared for and stored every herbal remedy. This allowed us to benefit from an herbal remedy outside our local region

5,000 years ago in India, through Ayurveda, defined as the "Science of Life" people discovered the unique energy flowing throughout the body. Using plants native to India, they brought the body into balance and healed the sick. Other communities did exactly the same thing, but called it by their personal communal name.  For more information, go to our websites, http://wwwfolkherbwisdom.com, http://nutronix.com/helpingyou.
