We probably need a lot of enzymes and plant sugars (not refined!) for optimum health.

Enzymes get killed when food is cooked, and the essential sugars in plants are only produced when the fruit ripens naturally on the plant. They don't survive very long in the form that our body needs most.

Have you ever picked a ripe fruit from a tree and tasted that burst of flavour? That's from some of the essential sugars that your body needs to coat every cell so that the cells can comunicate with one another. If you have allergies or auto-immune disease you likely are missing some essential sugars in your diet.

The solution? Have something raw and freshly picked with every meal. Grow herbs in pots and have a little vegetable plot if you can to grow salad vegetables and fruits to eat raw.

You'll feel so much better!

Aromatherapy is about using natural essential oils from flowers and trees and other plants to achieve balance, harmonize oneself and promote the health of your body, spirit and mind.

It needn't be complicated. A few drops of essential oil in a warm place close to you will work wonders on your state of mind.

If you like you can buy an aromatherapy diffuser. Most of them would be something that was pleasing to the eye and had a place to put a small candle with a small bowl on top to put some water and a few drops of oil in.

Then just light up the candle and you are in business!

Try lots of different essential oils and mixes of them. But use the real thing! Artificial fragrance oils just aren't going to have the same effect. And with essential oils a little goes a long way.

Lots of places sell essential oils. I get mine from one of my local health food stores. But I know of stores just dedicated to aromatherapy. If there isn't a source for them close to you, well, everything is available on the internet.

The acupuncturist is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these "meridians". Traditionally these areas or "acupoints" were stimulated by fine, slender needles. Today, many additional forms of stimulation are incorporated, including herbs, electricity, magnets and lasers. Still, the aim remains the same - adjust the "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

For countless Americans, myself included, aloe vera was the first encounter with a medicinal herb. As teenagers in coastal Maine, my friends and I would head for the beach on a warm spring day to start renewing our suntans, and after frying our pallid winter skin, we'd rub aloe gel on each others' blistered backs.

The scope of alternative healing or natural healing is very broad. Alternative healing in general is recently becoming popular. This includes herbal therapy, acupuncture, the use of gems, crystals, and magnets to promote healing, and other similar ideas. Several other methods are still being developed. I, personally, am a fan of alternative healing. This concept relays the magical form of healing. Let me make it clear though, that I do not recommend users to simply switch to alternative healing. As for my experience, I systematically blend the traditional medical treatment with the specific alternative healing method I prefer. The results are good as it dramatically speeds up my recovery.
