Holistic And Alternative Treatments Can Be Very Eco Friendly.
Trying alternative remedies to cure a medical problem can be better for you – and the environment!
If you regularly get pain, either as headaches, leg pain or whatever else, you can find that you need to constantly keep a supply of painkillers in your home and sometimes even carry them with you all the time – just in case!
Well, it is possible that an alternative remedy could get rid of your dependency on traditional tablets, caplets and dis-solvable potions – and save all those chemicals from being made, transported, packaged and disposed of.
Why Alternative?
Not everyone believes that alternative remedies such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy and homoeopathy will help them with their issues – but they never really give them a chance.
Mainly, people assume that these alternative treatment will be too expensive – but many do not really compare this one-off cost with the amount they spend on tablets over a period of months and how much time they lose from work or play while being in pain in the first place!
There are also those people who listen to their friends without getting all the best information or not thinking properly.
For example, person A may well be able to get rid of headaches with just paracetamol, where as their friend, person B, needs something stronger. So if person B gets a headache and person A gives them a paracetamol – it ‘won’t work’.
Then when person C gets a headache and wants to buy paracetamol – their friend – person B – will tell them not to buy them as they ‘don’t work’ and the ‘myth’ moves on through the population.
It’s the same with alternative remedies. One person didn’t get the result they wanted, or didn’t follow the practitioners advice and so pass on the opinion that it ‘doesn’t work’ – possibly preventing them and their friends and colleagues from ending their own pain or discomfort naturally, and so leaving them dependant on medication.
Other Benefits:
Not only could it leave you pain free and a lot happier, curing illnesses with alternative remedies has many other benefits to the person involved and the environment too!
Firstly, this type of treatment usually involves a holistic approach, which means that everything about the patient is treated rather than just the actual pain. This means that other lifestyle and dietary issues are addressed to get to the cause of the pain.
Imagine if your headaches were caused by too much cheese but you didn’t know this. And the directions on a packet of Anadin certainly won’t consider the cause of the headache, so you will just keep taking tablets.
But, cut out the cheese and cut out the pain completely! No tablets needed!
And, if the tablets aren’t needed, then you won’t be needing all their packaging either. So not need to throw away the plastic, and recycle the cardboard everytime. And if you don’t need them then the store needs to order less and all the way back to the raw ingredients there will be less - total impact reduction!
And one more And – if people are less reliant on curing common ailments with tablets, maybe pharmaceutical companies can start spending their research money on more important illness and diseases rather than just tablets for headaches and cream for itchy skin!
