Water is the best medicine that I know and is good for headaches

Chiropractor. I always go there to relieve my pain.

western medicine is just bandaid therapy.....they do not cure anything....& they assure that you are tied to them for life, on meds....

I get back and leg pains, so I get up and take a walk. It helps. But if it gets really bad, I have to go to physical therapy and that does wonders.

I like vitamins to treat many medical problems. I have successfully used acupuncture for a serious problem as well as physiotherapy but for somethings western medicine is necessary. I treated a dodgy thyroid for years before it almost killed me.

I don't use western medicine at all. I'm 64, and have been detoxing all the genetic, environmental, lifestyle conditions I have for the last 19yrs. I am a detoxification and regeneration specialist, and use all modes of natural therapies, to help myself and others to heal themselves. Diet is the biggest healer, herbs help the organs heal, but there is more than just physical healing that needs to be worked on. Meditation, grounding, the ocean, the water, massage, and self loving. As we make ourselves sick, so do we also heal ourselves. Anything can be healed, if we believe it can be. We are more powerful healers, than 'doctors' think.

car sick or sea sick - tiger balm or white flower oil. 100%

When you have a viral infection like a cold, eat a mandarin every 6 hours to keep vitamin C supply steady as vitamin c declines over time and vitamin C is crucial for a number of immune system processes. For itchy bites or bug bites I use plantain leaf (Plantago Lanceolata) plucked straight from the lawn, crushed up between my fingers then apply the green mush to the bites/itch directly and rub it in. For cuts I use aloe vera leaf fresh - just slice it and put straight on the cut then put a bandaid over it. To avoid a sugar crash before eating something sweet I have a tablespoon of a healthy fat (usually olive or avocado oil) or protein (usually cheese or nuts) as this slows down the absorption of sugar in your intestine which equates to a gradual increase and decrease of insulin over time (no sugar spikes or crashes). In a nutshell, sugar absorbs the fastest in your gut but you can dilute with more difficult to break down things such as protein, fat or fibre so that the sugar takes longer to absorb.

I gave myself goat medicine, and ever since I have been a horny bastard..

I never get sick, however, if I do I would try anything.

Both have their place, but I prefer a natural approach. I've been treating hip bursitis with Organic Turmeric (sourced from India), Ginger and black pepper (which activates the turmeric) and so far have avoided having the corticosteroid injection which, for me, will be a last resort. This is a natural anti-inflammatory and I choose it over prescription anti-inflammatories which can have potential side effects. My GP supports what I am doing.

COULD BE BETTER FOR YA

I have used the natural or holistic approach that I would swear by. Walking and mild forms of yoga and stretches have helped me with my back and legs. I have always said that walking is my medicine and I swear by that as without it, I don't think I could walk.

Yoga is great. Also, old folk remedies, herbs - there are so many. Earthclinic is a very good place to look around.

Acupuncture after I had my first son. My doctor was not interested in my pain I had for months after the birth,even when I couldn't walk she told me it was normal. My mother took me to her Chinese acupuncturist. After 1 session of massage/heat treatment/accuptuncture and herbs to flush out any toxins I was better. I had a "dry birth" and the amniotic fluid and part of the placenta was inside me,within 3days my body expelled it. Goodness knows what infections I could have had if I had not gone to the Chinese acupuncturist. I tried to go back to see my doctor and she refused to see me,saying she was far to busy. I should have taken it further,but I was young and just thankful to be o.k .

Magnesium supplementation for asthma

I tried acupuncture for stress headaches. Yes they eased the problem for over a month. I had very bad results from standard medical treatment for digestive problems. I tried in desperation taking probiotic capsules and after 3 weeks all the gastric problems died away. After that I tried prebiotics to feed the probiotics and have had no gastric upsets ever since.

Any natural ingredients such as honey or lemon is excellent for overall health.

I honestly think that regardless of what medicine you take for your ailments, unless you honestly believe that what you are using is working, then nothing will work

I have Arthritis. For years. Now ,i wish i new about fish oil and turmeric long before now as i have had a hip replacement because of arthritis .I think if i was taking fish oil and drinking turmeric Latta's i may have avoided the hip replacement, I swear by taking fish oil and drinking Turmeric....Turmeric has given me a pain free life, but i still have arthritis. I sometimes get a little stiff in my joints. I also keep myself fit .I eat fruit and veges which i think helps as well. I'm not a vegetarian i eat meat and fish.

Mix apple cider vinegar and pineapple juice. It really helped my restless leg syndrome a man told me to try it once actually helped.

I just have a beer, fixes everything

Both

Give me Science any day of the week it has proven facts behind it working.

Paw paw ointment to heal your tattoos faster. Its also good for dry lips

They both have a place. More beer good medicine.

I think they can work side by side with care

I don't have any ailments but have always been a 'walker', miles and miles. Tried the gym but much prefer the open air.

Some natural remedies can interact adversely with western medicine so it always wise to ensure all practitioners involved are in the loop. Taking medicine of any kind natural or otherwise can be dangerous or ineffective if not managed appropriately.

I trust my "witch doctor" more than I do the GP because she has helped me more without treating me as just another number that only get's 10 minutes for an appointment that costs over $50.

Natural options are good and easier on the body but there are times when westernized medicine is the only option.

I am continuasly trying new things, and when life is on going, how do I know which one really works? Maybe I should say drinknig 2 glasses or more of water in the morning, 40 minutes or more before you eat breakfast cures so many diseases. water cures

I reckon tumeric is brilliant for joints etc. I also like alpha lipoic acid.

I believe in natural options whenever possible.

Simply riding my pushbike is an extremely great way to boost my mindset when trying to deal with mental health/depression.

The doctors are an unhealthy lot

If holistic was any good the gummint would be taxing the bejesus out of it …..lol

I tried acupuncture with no results. There was a mixture of herbs and plants that actually shrank tumors that I had. It tasted horribly, but I thought if it shrinks non-malignant tumors, it will shrink cancerous ones! I continue to get this online from Herbalhealer.com. Then their website was shut down because they weren't approved by the government! What BS that was! I wish I knew all the ingredients, but I only recall that it had burdock root among other things. Could the government want to keep us sick for profit??? I have a lot of tumors all over my body and some are growing. They aren't sore or dangerous, they are just unsightly and embarrassing.

I prefer the western because I feel like it would be safer having been tested

I haven't tried this type of medicine before, but I maybe I try it for the first time.

My daughter was told my a school teacher many many years ago go drink Coca Cola for period pain. She swears by it.

Acupuncture is very effective, I have had it on multiple occasions for a sore knee

aloe vera is like magic you can even drink it it heals sunburn soooooo goooood and any cuts plus its good for the skin just really good stuff make though to get the one thats 99 percent pure they havesp many in stores where its a low concentrate of aloe liguid

I use both

Both are good but in different ways and approaches

I like both methods

My Doctor is trained and qualified in both. He will sometimes suggest what I should eat or what not to eat for a week or so to clear up some ailments. Accupuncture has also been beneficial and I do about 10 minutes of pilates and stretching exercises as recommended by my Doctor. He even showed me which ones and how to do them. I feel there is a place for both, but try the natural Holistic methods first. We get enough chemicals in our bodies just from everyday living.

no comment as i have no bl.... idea

My Doctor likes a holistic approach where it is possible. I now take no prescription medication, only over the counter medication which is awesome. I exercise daily and I am a vegetarian which I have been for a lot of years.

Acupuncture

lemons very good for colds

Both. Specifically for whatever crops up. Listen to your GP and Naturopath. Both help as we do not get the nutrition in our food anymore. The earth has been depleted and we are not giving her enough back.

Prayer

Just be healthy and exercise daily

I would like "conventional" medical practitioners to have a bit more "holistic" training and allow for it in their treatments. I recently had a mishap with a blade and "mullied" a couple of finger tips. I have been taking high does of turmeric [which thins the blood] for arthritis [yes it seems to help] but when I told the Dr's at hospital they had no interest and asked what prescribed drugs I was on-it is not only prescribed drugs that affect healing/bleeding!

Eat your five fruits a day or double it

headache - water, a banana, salty chips and a coke

Hot lemon and honey drink for a sore throat and a head cold

Boiled fresh oregano leaves make into tea mix with ginger tea and honey helped greatly reduce my ESR inflammatory markers back to normal from 65 down to 30 in a few month's time just drinking it daily. Now my Rheumatologist don't insist on me taking immunosuppressant drugs which would make me more immunocompromised for my autoimmune medical condition. She just said keep doing what you're doing. Thank you Lord!🙏Edited 06-May-23 08:08am

I have back issues and I help myself by doing stretches every day. Also drinking water helps with my mental health. I notice the difference when I do not drink enough each day. Walking daily is great for your mental health and body

in a word icecream, it may not cure your ailment but it is sure fun to eat, but when I am feeling poorly, whatever the problem, I paint seems to take my mind away from my issues

Good healthy food that either comes from under or on top the earth . None of the so called latest and greatest artificial produced junk or is it gunk? Only want to input something that has been produced naturally, can be plated and eaten with a spoon, fork and knife and digested and sent on it's way back to Mother Earth to feed the worms etc etc etc ... don't break what has worked so well since the dawn of time.

A cake of lavender soap in my bed to reduce/eliminate the symptoms of restless legs syndrome - it really works! (and if it doesn't work for you, use the soap in the shower)

I always look for a natural way to solve any ailments and have taken some natural supplements that have worked on joint pain give me natural any day

I had a bottle of Olbas drops. It is an Australian invention and is great for clearing the head when you have a cold or flue. It helps with headache and sore muscles. It is practly impossible to buy now as I can't find a chemist who carrys this product.

Chocolate

None

Have faith. If you believe, it may work for you.

A hot shower and a good massage make wonders sometimes. Just saying

Nothing like social media for all referrals.

a great deal of "modern" medicines are simply natural derivatives ...valerian, digitalis for 2 examples.

Sometimes I get lower back pain and stiffness so instead of popping a pain killer, I use gentle stretching exercises and a heat pack. Going for a walk is helpful, too.

When people become desperate enough they will give anything a go.

raw honey and ceylon cinnamon powder mixed into a paste for rosacea on the face leave on for as long as you can gets rid of redness,works great

A holistic approach is only made to believe and not a real cure for diseases.

There's a website called Earthclinic.com full of natural remedies. The ocean is healing for skin ailments due to salt water, but if you're not near an ocean you can add Epsom salt to a bath. I forgot to mention I take a Bromelain tablet that helps with digestion. Bromelain is from pineapple.Edited 06-May-23 05:19am

I Will try anything to get relief

Have only tried modern medicine

What rubbish

I think for anyone who got the covid vaccine should see a holistic healer. My sister went to one who was recommended after this healer healed herself of Multiple Sclerosis. My sister was suffering from some symptoms since getting the shots and was curious about what's going on that she couldn't see or feel. Her white blood cell count was way off, she had other things going on with her blood, her sinuses, and a few other things. After drinking what she was told would help, she went back and her white blood cells were good, and everything else was improving. NO medical doctor is going to tell you the shots have consequences like messing up your blood and organs; they get paid for each covid shot they gave. Big Pharma is sickening in what they do and literally sickening us. I know there are some things we need with prescriptions to help us, but we need to always question the reactions that are possible or to be expected, get the doctor to read the fine print that is very hard to understand and explain it to you, tell any reactions you're having that change your personality or thoughts of suicide or homicide, heart palpitations, etc. And quit taking it. A lot of the people who end up shooting up schools and workplaces or flying planes into the side of a mountain are having adverse drug reactions that change their normal thinking patterns and led to the deaths of a lot of innocent people. The drug companies pay their millions to families and continue to sell the problematic drugs to multi-millions of people who more than make up the cost of the payouts. We need to open our eyes to the medical/pharma companies and fight back. Holistic healing is one way to really take charge. This got long but I think it's important that it's said.

I use westernized medicine prescribed by a MD or GP - because my health plan only covers westernized medicine! However, in theory the holistic medicine is the better approach to treating. pain and illness of your body. Edited 06-May-23 03:52am

Should not depend on just holistic approach. Should be paired with modern medicine.

bar of soap in the bed helps stop cramps in the legs, well known to help, plus Aloe Vera and pawpaw are well known to be excellent for many things, cloves for tooth ache...These are just a few of many

I take natural magnesium tablets to manage cronic cervical pain.

we grew up with natural, herbs, etc well before USA invented petroleum based "medicine" too many to mention, go see a good naturapath, irodologist etc.

I haven't tired any but I am open to.

All medicines first came from, plants, herbs, spices and water and all still work. Its just most people don't know how to make them into to medicine, if not already edible

walking and looking around outside for my dry eyes from computer instead of eye drops
