Treatments
for problems of the digestive system, muscle pains etc are dated long back in
the ancient times. As long ago as 25,000B.C, the Chinese treated various
digestive disorders with acupuncture. Acupuncture is a painful yet an
interesting treatment in which very thin needles are placed into the body at
key points. It is an ancient remedy, yet famous in all ways. For digestive
system, this treatment has been proven to control appetite and to reduce
stomach upset.
The
ancient Chinese also used plants to treat digestive disorders. Plants used in
this way are called herbs. The yellow underground stem of Chinese Rhubarb has
been used for more than 2,000 years to regulate digestion. Another herb used as
medicine since ancient time is garlic. The Chinese, Babylonians, Greeks,
Romans, Hindus and Egyptians all used garlic to treat various intestinal
disorders.
These
practices are healthy and cause no side effects during treatment. Acupuncture
is more popular in eastern Asian countries although it is practiced in other
countries too. Acupuncture has its own depth study especially about areas of
pinning points and its required technique. The practices of acupuncture and
herbs are visible in Tibetan communities too. All medicines provided in Tibetan
hospitals lead by Men-tsee-khang are herbal medicine. Since everything in the
world has its merit and demerit and limitations, afore mentioned practices also
has drawbacks. These treatment practices take quite along long time to heal any
curable diseases.
The
patients require lots of patience, faith and must be consistent especially in
taking the herbal medicines on time. The roots of patience are always a
fruitful result. The final outcomes are satisfactory with its root healing
power. These herbal medicines heals a disease from the root rather than curing
the symptoms like other effective dosage that heals us from the pain for a
short duration.
These
practices are convenient and beneficial. Nature is always healthy for our body.
There are many ways in which the traditional old practices edges over modern
high chemical input dosage which heals one and rises another disorder.
Hence,
believe in nature and healing power would be more stronger with your faithful
energy. I assume theses practices more significant and desirable. Look around
