Ayurveda

What is Ayurveda?



    Why I’m inquiring with different kinds of natural medicine? I have the reason to educate us about how the people found for ways to cure around the world. I want to demonstrate the many alternatives to seek remedies. I don’t talk, which is the best, but to communicate the most used. This week I show the term Ayurveda (antique traditional system in India). According to webmd: “It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit”.  Similarly, the acupuncture shared the same purpose in their system.

      In my reading comprehension, it’s very curious that the Ayurveda is based on Greek ideas on the step of healing. They follow that everyone is made by the fusion of the five elements: space, earth, water, fire, and air. This idea is also connected with the visual worldview in medieval times. According to this alternative medicine, the elements combined and create three life of forces: vata, dosha, pitta dosha and kapha dosha and one of this is dominant. I perceive that this idea is very archaic and didn’t have a scientific basis.

      In my opinion, the Ayurveda followed more the religion that the human symptoms. In the website of webmd, they expose: “anything that affects your physical, spiritual, or emotional well-being can cause you to be out of balance with the universe”. Based on this terminology, the genetic or birth effects, injuries, climate and seasonal changes, age and even the emotions can disturb the balance. I agree that these items can affect the human health, but not the universe. The people cannot stop the climate and less the birth effects. Finally, they have the word “Prakriti” or they believe to stay the same for the entire life and anything can influence it.

Acupuncture


Bad Side of the Acupuncture


       After several weeks, I have been posting different kinds of alternative medicine. This week isn’t the exception because I want to know more types of cure diseases and the boom they have in the society. I talk now about the Eastern practice of acupuncture. According to Wikipedia, acupuncture: “is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body using thin needles”. It’s amazing how the insertion of something can help the human health.

     The website huffingtonpost expose that the technique gives us: better sleep, more energy, mental clarity, better digestion and less stress. The mechanism of this system increment a general motion to the body. But, the acupuncture have side effects as the traditional recipe. The same website mentions that one of the setbacks is the worst symptoms. The person feels sometimes better, but by the time, deteriorate.

     The links talk something unusual and I don’t know anything about this: the healing crisis. This concept is based on “your body starts undergoing the changes involved in moving toward health, things get stirred up”.  It just like that the body isn’t accustomed to healing in this way. For acupuncture, this sign is satisfactory because the method known the problem. Second side effects mentioned huffingtonpost is the fatigue. The people feel that “suck the energy” and this is a sign to take calm the body. Finally, more side effects are: emotional release, lightheadedness, muscle twitching, bruising and soreness.

Magnetism

How works the static in the body?




   The website livescience expose: “Magnetic therapy is an alternative medical practice that uses static (i.e. unmoving) magnets to alleviate pain and other health concerns”. In first impression sound a very curious and interesting form to avoid all the pain. The magnets will be presented in bracelets, rings, shoe inserts, magnetic mattresses and clothing. I think that one of this object didn’t at all, for example: the clothing. Because the people always be exposed for the environment and needs something more near.

   How the first pioneers explain the functioning of the static in the body? The body have blood that contains iron and magnets in use attract the metal. If the iron is bounded with hemoglobin and is not the kind of ferromagnetic (the phenomenon exhibited by substances, such as iron, that have relative permeabilities much greater than unity and increasing magnetization with applied magnetizing field). In the operation in the human system, we see that not all the people can use this type of medicine alternative and we had have to know if my blood is ferromagnetic or not. It’s entertain because the human outside buys all this stuff with the acknowledge of the static.


   I know that the human go out desperately to get a solution of his/her pains that can have a better life. According to BBC, the world sale of therapeutic magnets is evaluated to be at least $1 billion per year. That is an account very huge and the suppliers are gaining a lot of money with the diseases of the people. To emphasize my opposition, the magnetic devices give us a pleasure sensation and didn’t cure the pain. An analogue comparison of this operation is putted sand in the hole when you can fill with concrete. The explanation is “buffering the hit”.

Homeopathy


Homeopathy and the doudt

One of the medicines alternatives with more participants is the homeopathy. In the source of lacienciaysusdemonios, this therapy is formulated for the use of lacking active ingredients, analyzing on belief that the same cure the same. Also, the dose is in diluted form and can be alcohol or water for the solute. This idea has an awkward statement for me because if you want to cure the antigen, you can’t add something equal. In addition, the homeopathy is one of the choice medicine that isn’t trustier.

            Indeed, the website salud180 gives us an advice before the use of this technique. For me, the points of discussion in the references are very whimsical. The trivialness is the response of the doubt on the practice. For instance, the use of homeopathy:  find information about the adequate dose, consult with your primary doctor and didn’t you use a substance that interferes with the treatment. In fact, exists the opposition of the exhibition of the body with this antidote.

According to lacienciaysusdemonios, the homeopathy has a big hole of questions that reproduce the opposition. The website exposes examples of the impotence for the homeopath.  The solutions in homeopathy aren’t having active ingredients (a simple water), the fundaments of equality lack experimental basis, contradicts the biological knowledge and not exist proven comparison of the effectiveness are some reasons of the rebound in the homeopathy. It’s very puzzled that the lack of the validity in the practice isn’t showing in statistics or anything quantitative. In my opinion, I put away the alternative of exploring for this sphere.

Natural medicine

What wraps the natural medicine?

  What involve the natural medicine? According to the website geosalud, this tied up: herbal medicine, dietary supplements, homeopathy, acupuncture, neural therapy, magnetism, acupressure and other alternative medicine that complements the human welfare. That sounds because you can use the prescribe recipe and choose one of these types of medicine. May be one of this concept should be odd and you don’t know about of homeopathy, magnetism, acupressure and other choice. In fact, the people increasingly find more affiliation of this treatment.

 On the same website tell us that a 42.1 % in the United States of the year 1997 practice or buy the alternative medicine. The best election of the types of medicine is the use of herbs. Also, the Americans supply the traditional pills of this illness with herbal medicine. It's a good idea because they don’t leave the pharmacy’s antidote. Most of the drugs can damage the other system of the body or worsen the condition.

  The consumer has many reasons to opt to the practice of alternative medicine. In accordance with the website, the factors are: lower cost, better and faster results in specific conditions, fewer side effects, less traumatic and comprehensive approach to the person. I also choose this medicine, consequently, is cheapest and don’t a lot of side effects that endanger your life. We aren’t accepting pills that can bring down the whole system for a little illness that is curable with time and things that you recollected in the nature. We can faith in drugs, but is more accessible the practice of this treatments.
