Published by mradcliff at 12:34 am under Natural Medicine Edit This

    If you are tired of the side effects from traditional western medicine treatments, why not try an alternative.  There are many great alternatives for relieving pain.  One of the greatest and most effective is hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy works by inducing a state of deep relaxation, this works to distract your mind and body from its normal pain signals.  Hypnosis has been proven to work so well that it can be used to replace anesthesia.  It can also be used to treat irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, and eczema.  It has also been proven to boost the immune system.

A common ailment in America is heartburn and acid reflux; which is usually treated with an antacid like Rolaids, or Zantac.  These medicines work by neutralizing the acids in the stomach.  A great inexpensive natural alternative is gum.  Chewing gum after a meal increases the production of saliva, which naturally works to wash the stomach acids back down the esophagus and into the stomach.

Music is a great alternative to pain killers and a great excuse to buy an mp3 player.  A recent study in Ohio, involving 40 pain sufferers, showed a reduction in pain of 12 to 21% after listening to an hour of music.  The use of music has been noted to reduce pain after surgery, labor pains, and assist in burn treatment.  Some other great reasons to listen to music is that it can boost the immune system, reduce high blood pressure and insomnia, and help to enhance the quality of life for cancer patients.  The best method for listening to music was with the use of headphones, to reduce or block background noises.

Millions of women suffer from a degree of PMS symptoms each month.  Chaste Tree Berries are a great way to reduce these symptoms.  It works particularly well for tenderness in the breasts.  Another great remedy for PMS is healthy fats.  Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation.  Healthy fats work to reduce menstrual cramps by reducing the inflammation that causes them.

There are many great natural remedies on the market today.   Many of them work just as well as traditional medicines, except usually without any or little side effects.  It is best to read reports to decide which ones are right for you.
