The History of Natural Cures

Since the dawn of time man has used natural cures to feel better when he was sick, he has wanted to put off aging and death for as long as is possible. All that he had in the beginning was what Mother Nature provided. Man looked to the trees and the earth. Some times he made a mistake, other times he found a cure. A natural remedy was all he had. He would find the answer and thank whatever God was responsible. Antibiotics did not exist until after World War I. How did man survive before then? Did we die from every cut or cold? No We had what Mother Nature and God gave us. Praise them both for the bounty they provided.

Range of Natural Cures

There is no limit to the illnesses and inflictions that can be treated by a natural remedy. Not everything can be cured, but the symptoms of everything can be lessened. The caveman used plants and mosses to help alleviate sores and aches. The ancient Egyptians had a medical knowledge that still astounds some of the top minds. All of it was based on natural remedies. Cancer was known and treated in those times. Did they have pills? No All that was available were natural herbs and the remedies that could be gotten from them. As we entered the 20th century our doctors and scientists began to convince us that the herbs we used to rely on were faulty. New pills and cures were introduced. The age of the everlasting man had arrived. What have we discovered? These pills kill you in new and different ways. The side effects are nearly as dangerous as the original illness.

Cost Comparison

The last time you walked into your doctor’s office how much did you spend? It was at least a $25 co-pay. He turned around and billed your insurance another $60 to $80 for fun. How much did you spend at the corner health store? Perhaps $20 total. The alarming rise in health-care costs is confined to the contemporary medical community. Natural remedies are still affordable to everyone.

Summary

Natural remedies may not be the most widely acceptable form of medication, but they should not be discounted entirely. If you believe in them for religious reasons, or because you have known them to work, natural cures have saved many lives and improved many more. Thank you Mother Nature for helping us by providing this bountiful array of cures and healthy remedies.
