The use of plants for healing can be traced
back as early as the humankind itself. Written1[1] records
about it are dated from 5,000 years ago in Sumerians civilization while the
archeological findings have shown that the practice of using plants or herbal
medicine goes far back of 60,000 years ago in Iraq and, 8,000 years ago in
China. Only with the advent of conventional method of treatment that the usage
of plants has been challenged by modern practitioners of mainstream
medicine. Because of what they say that
herbals are lack of scientific evidence by their own standard, despite its long
history of potency to cure illness.
From
the ancient time up to now, there is no question that plants and herbs can heal
multiple varieties of sickness. In fact
more and more people are returning back to the original form of medicine which
is from the common plants that can be found in our backyards. Many would not deny the side effect of using
chemical drugs and the price tag that comes with it.
We
can also notice the difference in approach why using plans is more appealing
than the synthetic ones as this article explained [2]
“Synthetic
drugs address symptoms caused by specific diseases as understood by scientific
pathology, however, a herbal medicine usually direct towards aiding the body’s
own healing process. Herbal medicines usually act gently, “support” the systems
and processes that have become deficient or attempt to help remove excesses
that have become preponderant. Symptom relief is only a section of medicinal
plants therapeutic strategies. For example, arthritic is usually treated with
steroid anti-inflammatory drugs which have widespread disturbing adverse
effects. The approach of herbs to these conditions causes moistening of dry
synovia, stimulation of circulation in the affected regions, facilitation of
elimination via kidneys and hepatic/biliary routes, dietary modification of
metabolism, etc”
Furthermore
healing herbs are affordable or can be planted if you have some spare in your
backyard especially during this time of crisis.
It may be just in the corner of your surrounding if you live in a
country side. You just have to identify
them by asking someone who knows them well or from the medicinal books like
