8 Ancient Remedies for Health

We’ve all heard of Ayurvedic or homeopathic medicine, of grandma remedies, Chinese medicine, and shamanistic cleanses. Whatever direction you might choose is really up to you and what your beliefs are for obtaining a cure to what ails you.

Having said this, all these practices are old, very old, and many have been passed down verbally or within individual family units. They are not based in science and do not need a scientific theory to prove them right. They work because of ancient wisdom and belief. Their strength is based on observation of nature; plain and simple.

I am sure all of us have little things in our lives that have derived from ancient remedies: chicken soup for a cold, valerian for sleep, lavender for calm, a pumice stone for insect bites…these all do work. How? We really don’t know. I believe that they work because we want them to work. I also believe that our body can greatly heal itself when given the chance.

Here are some of my very favorite remedies…I hope they work as well for you as they do for me.
