HISTORY OF HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbal Medicine is the use of botanicals (plants) either singularly or in combination to prevent and treat certain ailments and illnesses.
People native to different geographical locations have long used plants and plant extracts to cure specific maladies. Sometimes referred to as “folk” medicine, it is generally recognized that there are three schools of research one can follow with regard to the history of these treatments.
There is the study of medicines based on Greek, Roman and medieval sources which is largely used by Western schools of thought, Ayurvedic which comes from India and the Eastern tradition of Chinese Herbal Medicine. Rather than separation, these different schools of thought provide more commonality than division.
It stands to reason that most ancient peoples used plants that were native to their geographical location which provides sound reasoning as to why different schools of thought exist.
All three of these modalities at one time included both philosophical and spiritual aspects along with the scientific knowledge that existed within a specific time frame. While we are not here to render opinion, one fact does remain. The same study that determined one third of Americans used alternative therapies, the same number surveyed showed a dramatic increase in positive results to more than 60% when “prayer” was included in the mix.
There is a lot of information in the works of Georges Lakhovsky about the importance of drinking water and eating food and herbs grown locally. He research on cancer in France showed that the solar and cosmic radiation reflected off different soils like clay, created disruptive energy fields that adversely affected the formation and correct functioning of your cells.
Dr. Lakhovsky noticed that people who ate the food grown locally and drank water from local sources were healthier than those who consumed nourishment from non-local sources. He believed that the electromagnetic field radiation of the food, herbs and water and from local soil were huge factors in optimal health.
You can read more about his amazing research on the benefits and harm created by electromagnetic fileds in his book "The Secret of Life." He also worked with Nicola Tesla, the father of energetic medicine, to create his "Multi-wave oscillator" that helped heal his patients from a wide range of diseases just by having them stand in the energy field created by his device.
All three of these modalities at one time included both philosophical and spiritual aspects along with the scientific knowledge that existed within a specific time frame. While we are not here to render opinion, one fact does remain. The same study that determined one third of Americans used alternative therapies, the same number surveyed showed a dramatic increase in positive results to more than 60% when “prayer” was included in the mix.
When my dad was going for heart surgery, there were many people praying and thinking positive thoughts for him. I thought the surgery would be the final event of his life, but the power of prayer and positive thoughts was amazing. He sailed through the operation with no adverse side effects and seems to be doing fine.
Daily prayers and positive thoughts are the most powerful way to maintain your sanity when you are taking care of sick members of your family. You realize life is in God's hands. He decides who lives and dies and when. Having faith in His goodness and the special plan for your life is a great stress reliever.
When you realize that the people in your life are more important than all the money, toys, cars, vacations, etc. it is much easier to do the right thing. Taking care of the sick is challenging, frustrating and rewarding all at the same time.
Until I started taking care of my sick parents almost two years ago, I had no idea how tough but transforming taking care of those who took care of me as a child. Changing your parents diapers, cleaning and feeding them and showing them love is probably the greatest act of kindness you will ever have the opportunity to become the best you can be.
Ayurvedic loosely translates to “knowledge of life.” Dating back to more than 6,000 years ago, Ayurvedic Medicine practiced not just Herbal Medicine, but some of the earliest surgical procedures as well as inoculation. Over the years Ayurvedic Medicine became increasingly more symptomatic as opposed to treating the root cause of disease which originally was steeped in strengthening the immune system.
With all our so-called advancements in the medical field, it’s interesting that physicians are still treating “effect” rather than “cause.” The old adage that, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” could not be more true. This is especially true when it comes to natural remedies.
Most natural remedies are botanical. Singularly or in combination, the numbers of herbs available is astounding. We will barely scratch the surface in this guide and we encourage further research and study.
While this is a presentation on “herbs,” we have included other natural, organic contents. Many of the combinations include both herbs and other sources such as tree bark, alfalfa and rhubarb.
Because there are so many botanicals and combinations, we are using the most common and should not be construed as the ONLY use for a specific herb.
Additionally, please note that we use the “common names” throughout, as opposed to the more confusing, latin words. Let’s get right to it, shall we?
