LOH Community Contest #201— GETTING BACK ON MY FEET

Recently, modern drugs no longer cure nor heal diseases but rather subsides the adverse effect of the illness and at the same time causes another problem in the human body/system. Imagine the constant occurrence of malaria and typhoid despite the numerous drugs prescribed and administered to patients on a daily basis yet we still complain of malaria after a certain period of time, apparently those medications just subsides the effect of the disease for a certain period of time . Another instance is the constant intake of pain-relieving tablets during those severe session of body pains, of course the pains would go for a short while but can't be healed forever, it will still come back and in some cases like that of my dad (may his soul rest in peace )it affects the functionality of the kidney which would lead to other serious complications .

Now the deal is after sounding this way about the modern drugs, how do you cope or how do you combat sickness ?
There's peace in nature. Whenever I fall sick I automatically become a typical African lady who values every greenish leaf she sees and is advised of its usefulness to health .
Let's take malaria for instance. The routine is simple: cook a mixture of paw paw leaf, moringa leaf, limes, unripe pineapple, lemon grass, guava leaf . Then drink twice a day
That is very early in the morning before you eat and the same thing in the evening before having dinner .
Another scenario is headache. If I am suffering a severe headache I drink warm water and I'll be fine .

And it's amazing how I never get sick or diagnosed of any outrageous sickness because honestly I hate drugs.

We are gifted with a wealth of natural medicines and it's awesome that you use them whenever you are sick. I'm not a fan of drugs either and prefer natural herbs and plants.

Generally, medicines originate from that which is natural. It's in the tweaking of, or modification of the natural substance, that grants the modern medicine, which can have adverse side effects. I'm not say all medicine is bad by any means, but I think that the natural and sometimes old ways might be a better starting place.

Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!

The correct use of herbal medicine has proven to be very effective over and over again. I'm just like you. I haven't had to experience fever in such a long time, thanks to some of my home remedies.

Traditional remedies go back to ancient times, each specific to a region tested what was found growing. Many now turn back to find these plants using what they recall from grandparents or earlier, great learning about the plants you rely on.

Medications should be used in moderation. But when it is consumed constantly is where the effects alter our organism. I love that you are doing well in taking care of yourself with medication.
