In the search for natural ways to deal with CLL, I came across a wealth of information. I realized that each of us is individually responsible for our health. We are all a product of nature, and the best way to maintain good health is by living in harmony with nature. Disease results when this harmony and balance are upset. We have forgotten to listen to our bodies and it’s needed. While modern medicine places more importance on treatment, I found that herbalists respect the body and try to help it heal itself. Herbalists believe that the body has inherent self-correcting tendencies to heal, and herbs can act in synergy with the body to improve our health and sometimes even cure us.
Respect for the human body is at the root of all herbal treatments. Herbs are often seen as the last resort – once all other avenues of treatment have been exhausted. This is where we are wrong. Natural food when taken on a regular basis helps to stimulate the body’s own healing abilities by cleansing and rebalancing. The advantage of natural medicines is their ability to return the body to a state of health without any risks and damaging side effects.
Natural remedies help even in the case of serious diseases like cancer. Even though the primary treatment for cancer rests with modern medicine, herbal therapy provides a cancer patient with significant relief from the symptoms. By adopting a herbal lifestyle, we can decrease the incidence of the disease, and help the person suffering from cancer, achieve some degree of tranquility, harmony and sometimes even increase their life-span.
Herbal medicine is a universal practice among all of the world’s traditional medical systems. Herbalists believe that everyone can benefit from using herbs. They believe that one need not use herbs only when sick. Instead, people can evolve towards a state of wellness and improved health by using herbs on a daily basis, in which case a person is likely to have fewer chances of being ill.
