The Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies

 Nature has a lot to offer human beings. It's full of beautiful landscapes, infinite amounts of natural cleanliness and naturally-occurring medicines. People have found countless ways to use the natural world to help humans. Some have used nature to help them treat common ailments, while others have used it as a source of food or clothing. People have also used the wild parts of the natural world to create art, furnishings and tools. In that way, humans have become increasingly disconnected from nature as they modernize and urbanize. If they're not careful, that can lead to a lot, but also trouble when people are unmindful of nature's gifts.

For example, many people find relief from psoriasis or eczema by bathing in a natural spring. The water stimulates the skin's natural moisture levels and relieves itching. In addition, many people drink natural mineral water for similar reasons. They believe that drinking it relieves constipation and even heals broken bones. Additionally, many people find relief from arthritis by applying a natural cream formula to their sore joints. This is based on the fact that creosote tree bark has healing properties for skin conditions. In addition, people in countries where their food lacks freshness will often eat raw honeydew melon. They'll cut the melon themselves and then eat the bitter but refreshing fruit raw. All these uses demonstrate how nature can provide instant relief when people seek it out.

Another thing that people discovered using nature was how to treat common ailments through natural treatments instead of prescriptions or doctors' surgeries. Many believed that eating specific foods could cure them of various maladies- even ones caused by modern pollution or poor diet choices. Others believed that bathing in a specific spring could cure them of any aches or pains they had at the time. In some cases, these treatments worked well enough that people stopped going to the doctor and began treating their ailments naturally instead of risking negative side effects from modern chemicals or surgery. This was especially true in cases where dangerous remedies used to treat people involved herbs with unknown effects on them- such as unprocessed opium derivatives or mercury-based compounds. Although dangerous, these treatments did work for some sufferers; others self-diagnosed themselves and started using nature as their doctors had told them to many moons ago: ' dosage for self.'

Some of nature's benefits were more controversial than others, however. For example, early American settlers brought the practice of using Indian peppermint tea for indigestion with them to colonial America. But some early American doctors believed Indian peppermint would cause customers to vomit their own bodily fluids so they refused to prescribe it outside an emergency scenario. Later on, researchers found peppermint tea ineffective against indigestion anyway- but they also found that vomiting after drinking peppermint tea was a result of poisonous ginger root poisoning first and not stomach sickness bugs vicissitudes- so those alternative doctors were right all along after all. The alternative remedy for indigestion might be... maybe... perhaps... vomiting after drinking peppermint tea? Or maybe taking something stronger than a 'slimy leaf' as one doctor put it? All these are possible remedies for common ailments like indigestion (that is still scientifically unproven) when your doctor tells you not to try something that works for other patients anyway!

Human beings use nature every day in unique ways- from curing common aches and pains to finding new medical treatments or just finding something beautiful to cast your eyes upon. Furthermore, many people find nature has useful medical properties without ever visiting a doctor or pharmacy either! The only limit is human creativity- and human willingness to use what nature has given them!
