Attaining holistic health ..
with nature's wisdom is the best path
to a life of peak health and natural wellness

Holistic health and natural wellness will not be bestowed on us
by any benevolent power but by our own efforts.

 

One of most potent weapons in our desire for holistic health, is adequate nutrition. This can be used to prevent and even reverse some conditions. It's now been proved beyond any reasonable doubt that a high percentage of diseases are lifestyle diseases-and that includes horrible diseases like cancer, heart disease etc.

According to a study by World Health Organization, smoking kills about 5.1 million people a year, world wide. Even second hand smoke kills about 600,000 people annually according to this same study!

What does that mean? It means a little change in our lifestyles can dramatically improve our health.

Inspite of the much vaunted wars on diseases, more people today are sicker than ever before. And the complications of obesity is a major factor-from diabetes, to heart disease; from brain impairment to respiratory problems etc.

Holistic Medicine and Wellness....
Nature's Wisdom for man to cultivate

Could it be that nature is a vast holistic healing center?

Nature might have hidden all the answers to our health problems in species of plants and animals that we see everyday.

Our challenge is to find these holistic answers instead of the harmful chemicals that make us sicker. Some of these medications are so dangerous that, if the diease does not kill you, the medications will

More and more, we are finding the holistic health benefits of everyday products-
benefits verified by rigorous scientific researches, not anecdotes:

  1. The unique and potent version of Vitamin C in Amalaki Fruit
  2. The power of Cinnamon as a sugar control
  3. Ginger as an anti-oxidant, to combat motion sickness, upset stomach, nausea
  4. Cruciferous vegetables as cancer preventives.
  5. The awesome holistic health benefit of mushrooms
  6. The anti-oxidant power of Curry
  7. The disease fighting power of Olive leaf
  8. Even snake venom has its own holistic wellness benefits

But a lot of this knowledge is not really new. Read more about the holistic health choices that we have here.
And we do have choices, even amid the onslaught of slick advertising

We'll be sharing information about these choices with our readers.

Natural health knowledge-Old or new?

Even a casual reading of some ancient texts reveals some startling holistic health knowledge:

nature's way, from old to new

Would you believe that the benefits of apples to good health was mentioned in the Bible and the Quran?

How about the prohibition against the consumption of fatty foods? There too!
Warning against overeating? You guessed it, it's there!!

So is the importance of a clean body and mind; no psychiatrist worth his couch would disagree with that.

  1. The Bible
  2. The Koran
  3. Ancient texts of Africa
  4. Herbal traditions of all cultures on earth
  5. Ayurveda, a medical tradition of India, is one of the most ancient, organized medical systems in the world. Modern science is now finding out that these advocates of holistic healing know what they are talking about

Attentive conversations with our elders can yield a treasure trove of natural healing information. A lot of old wives' tale have been proven right

Now what does this tell us?

This:
...that if we would just listen, watch and respectfully explore nature, we would discover many beneficial elements in our quest for holistic health

This is why it is imperative to preserve all the species and protect their habitats-who knows what kind of all natural health remedies they can yield! After all, most body of what is knowable, consists of what we do not know

Nature's Design-Not just for health anymore

Experts in various fields, not just in health, are now turning to nature's wisdom to learn. People-from the fields of enginnering, to pure physical sciences- are turning to biology and nature's design to improve their own designs. This was the agenda recently at a meeting of scientists at Long Beach Convention Center, in California.

Take the case of these two engineers-Geoffrey Spedding of the University of Southern California, and Joachim Huyssen of North-West University in South Africa: Setting out to find the ideal flying shape, using their expertise in aerodynamics:

...the best shape the pair found, would have a bullet like body rather than the elongated tube seen in commercial planes.....,the end result looked remarkably like a bird

Isn't that something! Nature had already perfected the ideal flying shape!! That's what can be learned by studying nature's wisdom. They too have gone holistic!

So, you say!

So?

A better understanding of aerodynamic design would result in better plane design. These crafts will be more fuel efficient. A fuel efficient craft burns less fossil fuel, produces less pollution, there by reducing the damage done to the planet and to our good health

So, that's why we should care

Holistic health enhancements in bizarre places

Seemingly unrelated fields can damage or contribute to our good health, depending on the choices we make

If that's not surprising enough, a study at Nottinham University has discovered some chemicals in the brain tissue of roaches that may have implications for human health. One of these chemicals can kill 90% of E. coli bacteria it comes in contact with!

Who would have thought you could mention roaches and holistic health in the same sentence!!

There is a running joke that says, that when the world ends-most probably as a result of human recklessness- the only creature standing, would be the roach. I mean, this scum never dies

So, we need to keep on learning. Some of the things we think we know might even be wrong. Doctors, for years got it wrong as to the cause of most ulcers, until an Australian doctor set them straight.

Nature's wisdom is so vast, and the potential for new holistic healing knowledge so tantalizing, that we would be foolish not to invest whatever it takes. And all these are around us waiting for our discovery.

I know it sounds like a broken record, but you are responsible for your health. And your good health, is best assured by your choice of a holistic health lifestyle

Do you go for harsh chemicals when you're not feeling well, or do you seek a holistic healing option whenever practical?
