With new breakthroughs in medicine and treatments, natural remedies seem to be replaced with new medications that work faster and more efficiently. Most of these medications are chemically produced in labs all with a primary action for treatment but with multiple side effects. Imagine taking 1 pill with the possiblity of 10 different side effects. 2 pills with a possibility of 20 different side effects? As a society, we get in the habit of getting a quick fix when a problem arises instead of nurturing our bodies with foods and products which are more natural and sustaining to the body.
An analogy I will use is in an example of a car. Is it better to let the tire blow or car break down before getting service? Or is it better to commit to regular maintenance such as tire rotations and oil changes to get the best use out of the car? I am one that is highly sensitive to the effects of medications. For many years, I suffered from year round seasonal allergies. At one point taking 3 different medications to try to combat the symptoms. My symptoms continued to worsen and the number of medications I needed continued to increase leaving me feeling dry and drowsy all the time. I decided I would give natural remedies a try....adding a cup of warm lime and honey water every morning to my regimen. 12 months later, I am offically off all my allergy medications, my symptoms are in check, and I feel great. I utilized the natural benefits of lime and honey combined with my body's immune system to treat my allergies. Now I am excited to see what other health benefits can be obtained using other natural products. I will definitely share with you as I progress in my journey!
