Listening to the Plants Nature is Talking to us.
The shamans say that plants connect us with nature because they take their nourishment directly from the earth, as well as the sun’s rays, the air, and water.

The prohibitive costs associated with health and medical care are one of the main causes of the health care crisis we are experiencing today. Fewer people are able to afford something as basic as a visit to the doctor for a routine checkup, much less a more serious visit that might result in being admitted to the hospital for a length of time. Many Prescription medications are so expensive that elderly patients are forced to ration them and at times even choose which ones they need the most when they cannot afford to pay for everything that is prescribed. This catch-22 creates a boomerang effect that lowers recovery moral and often depletes wellness optimism that is needed for recovery and symptom management.
As I tried to find a way out of this dilemma; for my own good as well as the good of my family, a friend suggested that I acknowledge I was on the traditional heath treadmill and explore other healing avenues.

Facilitated by healing arts experts who are carefully chosen for their knowledge and experience in their chosen field of study, this DVD series offers you an in-depth look into the world of holistic medicine and helps you unravel its many mysteries.

Ayurveda: Ayurveda is another ancient medical technique widely practiced in India. One practice that is advocated is to eat 10 neem leaves with water every morning. If neem leaves are rare to get, it may be worth considering neem capsules.
The emu oil eczema ointment is one of the latest developments in the eczema treatment industry. Surprisingly, it has long been used by the aborigines of Australia as a treatment for many conditions pertaining to the skin and its underlying structures such as the muscle and bone. And if it weren’t for the recent studies made by Australian doctors, the validity of the emu oil as an eczema treatment will not have been proven.
The emu bird is a fast running ratite bird that is native to Australia. Birds belonging to the ratite species have flat breast bones and are mostly flightless because of their underdeveloped wings.
