This branch of health care, which is unlike orthodox medication in several ways, was once considered the pinnacle of nature’s way of saving man’s life. However, over the years its importance and usage has seen a steady decline. The reasons for this trend are multifaceted, more so because alternative medicine had always been in conjunctive use with orthodox medical methods for years on end. Therefore, its decline can be attributed to the popularity and technological advancement of the modern health care industry. One of the most prominent reasons has been a shift in attitude on the part of medical practitioners and the masses in general. In the 1998 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, the use of alternative medicine, especially herbal medication, had been severely criticized. Some of the major areas of contention revolved around this field being ‘...unregulated, unscientific and dangerous.’ Even though herbal medicine is usually considered free of side effects, thinking of it as perfect and a God sent was never a claim. Consequently, steadily after this revelation, herbal medication was sidelined and orthodox practices took over as the most reliable and widespread means of curing and curbing major and minor illnesses. The relatively small chunk of the population that still believes in herbal cures has become as extinct as the herbs themselves! After years of worshipping orthodox medicine and its miracles, a new found interest in organic produce has brought herbal medication to the forefront once again. However, this time the reason behind the interest and attitude shift has more to do with tackling the numerous side effects that modern medical practices have left in their wake. Herbs, their oils, essences and bi-products are being explored under a strict medical lens as sustainable future medicines. Therefore, the once bleak future of alternative medicine may just become more promising. Many people today are resorting to using natural products and essential oils to help prevent common illnesses, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As the extended use of antibiotics is not recommended and will ultimately have the reverse effect after repeated use, people are looking for better alternatives. There are many essential oils that are valuable to one’s health, and these include but are not limited to peppermint, clove, rosemary and of course, tea tree oil. The value of coconut oil and its mixtures is priceless, especially in the face of expensive and synthetic orthodox medicines that fail to fulfill their purpose at times or leave behind a trail of side effects. Coconut oil on the other hand, is pure and 100% natural with no side effects, allergens or irritants in its composition. Therefore, if you are looking for one ingredient that fights all your everyday problems, be it hygienic, health related or beauty related, coconut oil should be the ideal pick. Vinegar has been used for many purposes throughout its lifetime. It has been used commonly for pickling, cleaning and even for polishing armor. Vinegar has also been quoted to be useful as a home remedy for various ailments. In particular, apple cider vinegar, or ACV, has become more commonly used as a healer for common illnesses and infections. Studies have indicated that apple cider vinegar may be a useful treatment for patients suffering from diabetes or obesity.

Very Informative

I wish I would have read this handy little book BEFORE I applied in very liberal doses, tea tree oil to what started out as a mild case of razor burn on my legs. Would have avoided an ER visit!!!!!!! The author gives a pretty detailed history on each product mentioned and also includes possible side effects for each one, along with some simple recipes and uses. Worth the read!!
