I have always believed that nature held a lot of our answers, when it comes to staying healthy and living healthy.
Raw foods are better than cooked, for example. However, raw foods can also contain parasites and germs so some precautions
have come in handy over the years. The trick is to get the best of both worlds, the world where nature's bounty is so freely
given and self-contained with all nutrients needed to sustain health and the world where we cook for flavor, cleanse to kill germs and
parasites, and extract essences for flavor, medicine or food.
Alternative Medicine is a very broad range of healthy lifestyle choices that definitely includes nutrition. Eating right to
stay healthy is just a logical part of living an alternative medicine lifestyle. However, there are many other facets to alternative medicine therapies
than just food. Some other aspects include healing modalities such as
reiki and
acupuncture as well as the
practical application of essential oils, known as aromatherapy.
