Herbs – Natural Way To Get Rid Of Body Pains

In the course of our lives, each of us will experience many physical injuries and ailments, affecting our joints causing discomfort and pain. With the healing power of nature and a large dose of common sense, most of these illnesses and injuries can be dealt with at home by using home health care products, and without having to spend time and money for a visit to the doctor. But for some the joint pain is severe enough that they will need to seek professional assistance.

Herbs have become a rediscovered health boon. Herbs have made a comeback, neglected for most of the 20th Century; they have been a focus of renewed interest in the last two decades. One in five Canadians are choosing alternative treatments for disease, and one of the alternatives to orthodox medicine is herbalism. Before we explore why herbs may be recommended for helping with joint pain, let’s give a little more background on what Herbs are.

Herbs have many times been referred to as “The Elixirs Of Life”. An elixir in reference to herbal impacts on human consumption can best be described as any “substance held capable of prolonging life indefinitely,” or any great agent used “for the therapeutic effect of the active medicinal ingredients.” In a word the, elixirs make you feel better and help you live a long time!

The definition of an “Herb,” includes all such items of vegetable origin that will serve as medicinal remedies for internal or external purposes. Some have specific healing properties, some will maintain health, others, can be used a preventives, others, may be of special benefit for recovery of a specific ailment, including joint pain, joint inflammation, and joint swelling. By these actions herbs become helpful in cleaning up the blood-stream, liver, kidneys, the nervous system and other organs, and do so without side effects. The action of certain herbs, when taken into the body, produces a cleansing, detoxification, and healing activity, which allows the body to normalize functions and good health ensues.

People often ask the question “Do herbs really work”? And our answer is “of course herbs work”. If they didn’t, people would not use them and would not have done so for thousands of years.

So let talk about why herbs work:

1. Herbs feed the body with vitamins and minerals that the body needs, to work in proper balance.
2. Herbs contain all 17 basic minerals and 70 trace minerals that your body needs to work properly.
3. Herbs are electrically charged and put energy back into the cells of the body.
4. Herbs stimulate the white corpuscles, which absorb and destroy germs, and can actually reduce your chances of becoming sick.
5. Herbs regulate the organs and glands and correct the imbalance in the system.
6. Herbs help to cleanse the cells.

Our ever-changing profile of food and our increasing knowledge of digestion, absorption, assimilation, elimination and of course, technology has helped in the way herbs are now processed and supplied to the public, keeping their active ingredients intact.

Whether you are a discriminating health food eater or an adventurous gourmet, your digestive system may not always be ready for what your appetite has selected. If you could take a food that would help with joint pain, indigestion, heartburn, bloating, belching, acid reflux or gas with natural methods instead of harmful drugs (with all their accompanying side effects) wouldn’t you want to know what that food was? Herbs are better suited for the treatment of dis-ease processes than chemicals and other substances, which are foreign to the human body.

The purpose of plant medicine is to stimulate the immune system to bring the body back to a state of homeostasis, or “organic equilibrium.” Herbs can do that because there’s an affinity between us, and the plant world. Through the magic of photosynthesis, plants have the power to take up mineral substances from the soil, through their roots, becoming useful as food and medicine.

Herbs promote the elimination of waste matter and poisons from the system by simply, natural means. Herbs are our safest, most natural medicines, having been with us from the beginning of time. From the roots of traditional folk medicine, the herbal kingdom today offers many useful and effective remedies for minor illnesses including joint pain, joint inflammation and joint swelling. Herbs come in bulk jars, tea bags, capsules and tablets, and liquid extracts.

Now, younger, health conscious individuals as well as the baby boomers who want to extend the prime years pain free, for as long as possible, are becoming interested in herbs. Consumers have turned to herbs for other reasons as well. With the awareness of the need to protect the environment has come an increased awareness that nature, and natural remedies, have much to offer. As a result, many people are taking responsibility for their own health, and are trying to live healthy lifestyles. This focus has led many consumers to explore the potential of herbs. Many external joint pain formulas are based on herbal substances, as well as internal joint pain formulas.
