Looking for an Alternative Health Magazine But Feel Confused by the Array?

People in their droves are turning their backs on the manipulative medical and pharmaceutical markets and are starting to take control of their own health. It’s a turning point for the world. As you take control of your own health, so you influence the greater world.

With the booming of the natural and alternative health market, you could be forgiven for being confused. There seem to be so many modalities. Some do this, some do that. Some are hands on (and so could be worrying for the nervous), some are hands off.

There’s homeopathy, massage, naturopathy, kinesiology, herbalism, flower essences, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Bowan therapy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, the list is endless.

You may never have heard of many of them. And some of them cross over.

By subscribing to an alternative health magazine, even if it does specialise, will mean that you’ll get a better understanding of what that modality can do and if you are attracted to it.

Knowledge is power! You can’t make up your mind about where to go with your health care, without knowing something about the various options.

So what should you look for in an informative alternative health magazine? Apart from the modality speciality of the author, wider areas should also be discussed, such as diet. And the emerging truth about some of the risks with conventional medical tests and treatments.

With medicine and drugs dominating the western health care system for decades, you have never been given options to explore. They ruled with an iron hand.

Now things are changing. It’s a new century, a new age, a new awareness. People are demanding to know the truth. And to their right to choose.

When you’re looking for an alternative health magazine which specialises, check out it also covers other areas of natural health, such as diet. It should sometimes bring in experts to discuss various options and what to avoid.

I have heard that some doctors don’t believe diet has a direct impact on health. Don’t, for one moment, believe them! Diet is all important. For example, Westin A. Price (1870-1948), a Cleveland dentist looked for the causes of dental decay and physical degeneration that he observed in his dental practice. He went searching for people with fine teeth and good health. He found them the world over in isolated human groups, including villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Indians of North America, and other remote locations.

A good alternative health magazine will explore some of the common areas of conventional health care, particularly the controversial ones, such as vaccination. And will often give their speciality slant on them.

Many alternative health magazines are free to subscribe to and appear regularly. Regular magazines are a good idea, as it helps to keep you on track. With the best will in the world, you’ll be influenced by the media, your family, friends and colleagues, who may not yet have started to explore their health rights and options.

When you’re new to exploring something, you’re in a vulnerable position and can be easily influenced. Stay true to your feelings and keep looking and learning!

How Effective is Natural Healing?

You may not be aware of it, but your body has a tremendous capacity to heal you.

From anything.

So why doesn’t it?

Because you’re out of balance!

Once you’re back in natural balance, true natural healing is possible.

So what does out of balance mean, and how do you put yourself back into balance?

You only have to look as far as nature to see what natural balance is. Living the stressful life that is the mainstay of modern day human existence is probably the main contributing factor for your lack of balance.

I’m not necessarily promoting the idea that you give up your job and live in the bush. You can do anything and remain in natural balance.

It’s how you handle things that shows up your balance, or lack of.

Most people don’t handle things very well. You might get angry or defensive when someone criticises you. You don’t take enough ‘you’ time, time to relax or reflect. You may not be eating well. You may be partying and drinking too much.

Natural healing can only come about when you consider you as an entire entity. Your thoughts, your physical challenges, your feelings are all connected. If you have been taken physically ill, it’s more than likely because you didn’t listen to your inner self, which was telling you to slow down, or get another job, or get out of your current relationship.

When you don’t listen, something takes over and MAKES you listen. A spell in hospital may be the only way you will reflect on your life. That doesn’t sound very much like natural healing, I hear you say. And no it isn’t. But if the time and experience there makes you take stock and turn your life around, then it has been beneficial.

Natural healing can’t come about if you’re putting garbage food into your body on a regular basis.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Healthy food, natural supplements regular light exercise, lots of time to relax, listening to your inner voice for major, and minor, life decisions are the best ways to allow your body to get into the natural healing mode it knows so well and does so efficiently.

It’s doubtful there is a human alive who doesn’t have some issues or life experience that is holding them back, keeping them in a rut or preventing them from moving forward in the way they really want to.

This is because these issues haven’t been properly resolved. You may think you’ve got over the death of your whoever, or the abuse you suffered as a child. But if you either don’t want to think/talk about it or cry or feel emotional when you do, you know you haven’t resolved it.

And you can’t move forward until you do. Once you have truly resolved it, your body’s innate natural healing powers come into their own, and away you go.

One of the best ways, if not the best way, of helping you resolve these deep issues is homeopathy. Homeopathy has the unique capacity to quickly put you back into balance, so your natural healing powers can once more resume their efficient task.

You can tell what problems are upper most in your life, by the physical ails you succumb to.

The liver is where anger is stored. Ever heard of the phrase ‘he’s a bit liverish today’, meaning he’s angry. So if you’re regularly angry or irritable, it’s likely your liver is struggling. It may not show up on a blood test. Yet. But it will, if you don’t take steps to resolve it.

The kidneys are where fear is stored. Are you getting lots of urinary tract infections? Check out what you’re fearful of. That can be a bit challenging on your own, and you may need the help of a therapist, such as a homoeopath.

The lungs are the seat of grief. Displaced people/immigrants often succumb to tuberculosis. TB is all about the lungs. Displaced people are often fleeing from their country out of necessity rather than choice, leaving their family behind.

So if you want to have a magical life, one where things just keep going right, feed your body well, respect it, listen to it, make sure you have daily relaxation and get professional help with your deep seated problems.

Balance your yin (female) and yang (male) energy.

Healing you does more to heal the world than anything else.
