1. Acid Reflux Alternative Treatment
Although many conventional medicine thinkers believe that Herbalism is just for hippies,
there are many believers out there that would like to disagree with this rash argument. I
personally love to use herbs to heal common issues such as cuts, bruises, colds, fevers and
so on. Herbs can be found in many grocery stores today along with online resources and
natural health stores. Natural supplements can also be purchased if the herb form is not
available fresh. This book is a wonderful encyclopedia that explains the tons of herbs and
how each one can cure the problem. At all times, natural medicine found in alternative
medicine should be tried first before Allopathic (chemical-filled) medicine is used.
I refuse to take prescription medications in spite of the bouts of depression I have been going

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy, involves sticking long, thin needles into specific
points to keep the body's natural energy flowing. It has been shown to work very well on
dogs with arthritis, even those who have not responded to drugs. Dogs generally find
acupuncture treatments relaxing and often fall asleep during the treatments.
A treatment with a TENS unit can be very beneficial for muscle strains and soft tissue
injuries. The traditional medical community accept TENS unit treatments more widely than in
the past. In fact, one family member has had to wear one through the day with a very light
treatment to help with shoulder pain. My daughter suffers from extreme car sickness when
traveling more than a few miles and has found that using a TENS unit "watch" keeps it under
control. The "watch" straps to her wrist like a traditional watch and delivers extremely low-
voltage pulses to her system, which control the motion sickness.
Ayurveda which originated in India has been a traditional medicinal practice which has been
used to treat small ailments. Certain Ayurvedic practices are used in everyday lives in an
Indian household. For eg: using ginger to treat sore throat, using turmeric as antiseptic for
cuts and burn as well as a face pack. And I resort to all these remedies.
