Alternative medicine vs. Conventional medicine

As good as alternative medicine is there is still a place for conventional medicine. For example you cannot tell someone to come off their blood pressure tablets and start taking herbal medicine or tell a schizophrenic to give up his pills to inhale a bottle of jasmine essential oil. So we can safely say that conventional medicine is far from becoming obsolete. Modern medicine has realized the need for alternative medicine and doctors are encouraging their patients more and more to go in that direction and not become too dependent on their drugs.

More  people are turning to alternative medicine before they have to hear from their doctor that they have some terminal illness. Alternative medicine involves listening to music that is soothing to both body and mind. That is a serenity that you would not get in any tablet. Yet to take your pills yes or no at times is a matter of life and death. We need our medical doctors for various and obvious reasons. Yet we also need at times to just wake up early in the morning and meditate to bring our chakra into alignment.

We could make our own life easier simply by the colors we wear each day; or the colors in which you decide to paint your house inside and out. Then listening to music also helps bring about healing in the body. Medical doctors are now using music as a way to ease any bodily pains their patients may have. At times they do not even use it along with pain medication. What a drastic change and how far we have come? Music today is being used to help Alzheimer’s patients and aid senior folks in dealing with other problems that come with old age.

The healing wonder of herbs is as old as time itself. Some are to be used externally while others are meant to be drawn in a cup of boiling water or boiled before drinking. The only way you should drink any herbal medicine is if it has been prescribed by a licensed herbalist; and if you’re on medication you would need to check with your medical doctor to ensure that your medication does not clash with the herbal treatment. Another thing a lot of people do is go on these crash diets. There are essential oils that help you to control your appetite and speeds up your body’s metabolism thereby allowing you to lose weight.

 Alternative medicine is slowly dominating the medical field though. Even doctors use music as a way to keep them calm in the operating room, and to ensure that their patient’s subconscious mind is focusing on something peaceful. Doctors use music as a way to calm an autistic child. Anyone suffering from some form of mental illness can benefit from the healing powers of their favorite music. There are no more excuses for people to remain living unhealthily.
