Traditional Chinese Medicine<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFor thousands of years, rooted in a philosophy known as Taoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on the theory that all of the body\u2019s organs mutually support each other. Therefore, in order to be healthy, an individual\u2019s organs (and their functions) must be in balance. This balance<\/a> is attained, in part, by harmonizing yin and yang, two opposing but complementary energies thought to affect all life.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother theory in TCM is that vital energy (called \u201cqi\u201d or \u201cchi\u201d) flows throughout the body via certain pathways (or \u201cmeridians\u201d). According to this theory, disease and other emotional, mental, and physical health problems develop when the flow of qi is blocked, weak, or excessive. Restoring the flow of qi is considered essential to balancing the yin and yang and, in turn, achieving wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than prescribing specific herbs, practitioners of TCM typically combine a number of different herbs in formulas selected depending on the patient\u2019s individual needs. These formulas may be given as teas, capsules, tinctures, or powders. Although purely natural, it may take some time to prepare and a lot of ingredients are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, TCM is still actively practiced, not only in China, but worldwide. People trust this way of treatment more than \u201cWestern\u201d medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nWestern Medicine<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nWestern Medicine is the term used to describe the treatment of medical conditions with medications, by doctors, nurses and other conventional healthcare providers who employ methods developed according to Western Medical and scientific traditions. It differs from Eastern, or alternative, medicine, in its approach to treatment, which relies heavily upon industrially produced medications and a strict adherence to the formal scientific process<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt all started when John D. Rockefeller, at that time controlling 90% of all petroleum refineries in the United States, saw the possibility that vitamins and medications could be developed from petroleum! Due to his wealth and his hunger to become even wealthier, he started to create a monopoly and eliminated the use of herbal and natural medicines. \u201cA pill for an ill<\/a>\u201d became the mindset for doctors and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is common practice that with every box of medicine comes a large piece of paper stating the side effects. So, one can only imagine how much chemicals are being used in trying to cure patients. Especially with the monopoly of pharmaceutical companies, and its \u201cfriendship\u201d with hospitals and doctors, people received a lot of garbage in their body that might not have been needed. But some people focused more on improving their bank account then on improving someone\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*UjEmMZoCBHqkA4XOEAkHdQ.png\")

This alternative is not only there to treat the defect, it is actually also a very good way to prevent you from falling ill.

They have been used for thousands of years in various cultures for medicinal and health purposes and it seems that they are gaining ground again. Using essential oils is a safe and cost-effective way of treating an ailment compared to other medicine. It is safe because you do not consume it (although with some you can) and it is cheaper than medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*otMkC45BXpXukQPSkSi7Qw.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRecently the daughter of an acquaintance woke up in the morning with a huge, swollen eye. Having used essential oils for years and fully trusting their benefits, instead of going to the doctor she decided to treat the eye with a mix of essential oils. Every hour she would massage the affected area and rub oil on the soles of her feet. Within 8 hours, the swelling was 90% gone. Calculating the expenses of using the essential oils she spent less than $2.50. If you would compare that to spending time going to the doctor, cost for professional advice, medication, and transportation it is clearly more beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
