Alternative remedies are usually based on different healing techniques and practices that involve herbal medicines, healing touch, and even energy

The garlic, onions and ginger that we always use in most of our dishes already have a lot of medicinal properties. Onions are known for strengthening our immune system, fighting cough and colds. Ginger is also a widely used herbal remedy because of its ability to treat problems with digestion and bloating. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help treat joint as well as muscle problems.Aside from herbal medicines, meditation is also a popular alternative treatment. Stress is inevitable especially in our world today and it is one major factor that increases our risk of conditions that could lead to heart attacks and stroke, as well as other diseases. Meditation is one effective way of relieving tension and stress. Aside from that, it also helps us strengthen our immune system and increase our body’s energy and endurance.We cannot deny the fact that at the first sign of sickness, we tend to opt for prescription drugs to treat the condition immediately.
