How could natural therapies actually be superior to drugs?
When natural therapies are properly applied, they do not have the side-effects usually accompanying pharmaceutical medications. Natural remedies support all the processes your immune system does so well. Your immune system is constantly monitoring, and responding to, thousands of variables which have to do with symptom expression. Medications attempt to address one specific process in the body. Drugs called antipyretics lower fever. Antihistamines block histamine production. Sympathomimetic drugs influence the sympathetic nervous system. The use of these kinds of medications may send messages to the body which attempt to override processes the immune system is utilizing, which it may need to defeat an infection.
