Scared of needles? Natural Herbs Are a Great Benefit in Treating a Multitude of Symptoms

For many people, the fear of needles is enough to keep them from seeking acupuncture care for their medical conditions. However, staying healthy does not always mean that you must suffer for the sake of your health. Natural medicine can offer relief from a variety of symptoms through the use of herbs, and these herbs can be just as soothing for your mind as they are for your body. Natural herbs have long been used to treat common conditions such as the flu, arthritis, and pain, without the side effects of pharmaceuticals. Medical science is beginning to offer more insight into the wonderful health benefits that herbs provide for both preventing and treating the symptoms of modern illnesses. Here are just a few of the common herbs that are used in natural medicine:

Chamomile
Chamomile is well-known for its relaxing effects and is frequently brewed into a tea. It is used for treating anxiety, insomnia, and other stress-related ailments. It also promotes better digestion and provides relief from irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders.

Lavender
Lavender not only smells good, it also has tremendous benefits for a person’s health. Lavender oil is frequently used in lotions and creams to provide relief from arthritis and muscle pain. Lavender promotes relaxation, and it also has antiseptic properties that can make it effective against germs.

Ginger
Ginger is a pungent herb that is frequently used in teas and food to create a delicious flavor. When ingested, ginger can help to treat digestive problems such as nausea and vomiting. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for treating chronic pain. It is also stocked with anti-oxidants that can help prevent aging.

Garlic
Garlic is another herb that is known for adding great flavor to food. This herb is an excellent immune system booster, and can help prevent colds, the flu, and aging. It also has anti-fungal properties that make it effective for treating symptoms that are caused by yeast.

These are only some of the common herbs that are used to provide relief from symptoms. The possibilities are endless for treating common ailments with herbs, and herbal remedies are less likely to cause side effects that traditional medicines can cause. They can also be used along with many prescribed medications, making them the perfect enhancement for your health.

Ask your acupuncture physician, trained in the science of an herbal pharmacy, what formulas may be right for you.
