Natural Treatments

People have depended on natural treatments for centuries, using plant extracts, therapeutic massages, even long-perfected dances to heal the ills and anxieties of society. But in more recent generations, natural healing has given way to a thriving industry filled with chemically-generated drugs and laboratory-altered pills.

The effectiveness of scientifically-tested and tampered treatments is undeniable. Extended life spans are in part a testament to extraordinary effects science can have on the body. If not the core problem, then at least the side effects of myriad ailments have been alleviated by modern medicine, often allowing the sick and the suffering to lead vigorous, fulfilling lives.

In spite of modern achievements, much of the public has found fault with prescribed medications. Whether this sentiment has something to do with unusually high expectations or by the inaccessibility to overwhelmingly-expensive healthcare, the fact remains—the popularity of natural treatments has come full-circle.
