Herbs that can cure you - or kill you

Article Abstract:

Herbalism, which involves the treatment of disease by plant products, is split into traditional herbalism and rational phytotherapy. The former involves making a holistic assessment of the patient, with little attention being given to conventional diagnosis. Herbs are prescribed on the basis of the individual and the specific symptoms. The latter involves using pharmacological and clinical research to identify herbal remedies that are effective for treating certain conditions. It is important to be aware that herbal treatments are not free of side-effects.

The main forms of spinal manipulation are chiropractic and osteopathy. In both cases, practitioners claim that the malfunction of the spine and other joints in the body causes almost all illnesses and diseases. Spinal manipulation is most commonly used for back pain, but supporters of chiropractic and osteopathy claim that these techniques can also be used to treat many other conditions, including migraine, neck pain, headache, hypertension and asthma.

Footloose and pain-free

Article Abstract:

Reflexology, which involves applying controlled pressure to the reflex points and areas on the feet, has become a very popular complementary therapy. Those who practice reflexology believe that it can encourage the body to find its own state of equilibrium and good health. They claim that treatment breaks down the deposits of uric acid or calcium crystals formed as a result of the malfunctioning of an organ or body system.
