[Video] Returning to Ancient Remedies to Promote Health

12/10/2023

0 Comments

 
Ancient remedies for health Dr. Axe
There's no doubt that modern medicine has come a long way from it's early days of bloodletting and leeches as treatments for human diseases.

However, our ancestors had a much deeper knowledge than we give them credit for of how to use food and plants for healing.

While we should appreciate the technological advances that have given us things like open-heart surgery and emergency medical treatment, this doesn't mean that we should "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and discount valid ancient remedies which may still be helpful today.

In fact, as I've discussed here many times before, today's medical system relies far too heavily on prescribing drugs to manage symptoms, rather than preventing them in the first place by addressing the root cause of the problem.

By considering the wisdom of the past, we can find balance and better health through approaches such as dietary adjustments, stress reduction, herbal remedies, and more. These age-old tools alone can often provide substantial improvements and, in many cases, even a reversal of disease.

In this interview, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Josh Axe discuss how ancient remedies and traditional nutritional wisdom can help to heal modern diseases and create vibrant health.

Can Eating Together Make You Healthier?

Social eating together for health
Today we're exploring an interesting question: Can eating with friends and loved ones actually improve your health?

It's a question we Americans don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about.

In many European countries, mealtimes are considered social times, sometimes lasting hours, and involving plenty of stimulating conversation along with the food. I remember this as one of my favorite things about visiting Europe!

Growing up in a half-Italian family with several siblings, mealtimes were often noisy, boisterous affairs - especially when friends or extended family were involved. My husband still sometimes gets overwhelmed at Christmas dinner at my parents' house with all the generations gathered together talking over each other! :-)

However, in much of modern America, the trend over the past century seems to have been towards more and more solo eating habits. In this interesting podcast episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, they examine the question of whether this trend is negatively impacting our health as a nation...

The Benefits of Alternative Therapies in Holistic Health: From Acupuncture to Yoga

Alternative therapies in holistic health
We're back this week after a quick break! This is the busiest time of year on the homestead, and this year is no exception. Between harvesting, preserving food, cleaning up the garden, and getting everything ready for winter, I've been hard pressed to keep up with the blogs, but this week, I've got the next episode for you in our Holistic Health series.

So far, we've covered the mind-body-spirit connection, exercise, nutrition, and sustainability. This week, we're addressing some of the common alternative therapies that you may come across in holistic health circles. While each of these modalities has its own benefits and limitations, all of them have been used by humans for hundreds - if not thousands - of years before the advent of modern medicine, and each has its own place in the holistic health approach.

Learn more below, and be sure to check out the other posts in this series for more on the holistic health approach!

How Our Health Impacts the Planet: Exploring the Connection Between Holistic Health & Sustainable Living

8/20/2023

Holistic health & sustainable living
Welcome back! I took last week off for our trip to Tennessee, but I'm back with another installment in our Holistic Health series for you today...

While we often think of holistic health as including things such as sleep, exercise, and, of course, nutrition, we may fail to consider the environment. Indeed, when you consider health as a holistic system, it must necessarily extend outside of our own individual bodies to encompass the planet as a whole.

After all, the world around us is what produces the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the whole of nature that keeps us healthy both physically and mentally!

In today's post, we will explore the connection between holistic health and sustainable living that honors the planet as well as our own health.

FREE Autoimmune Diet & Recipe Guide

Auto-Immune Diet with recipes
It's August already, which means, it's time for your monthly freebie! :-)

This month, I've got a helpful guide for you on a serious topic. Excess inflammation has been linked to numerous diseases and health conditions, including devastating autoimmune conditions that impact millions of people worldwide.

Let's first clarify that inflammation has a purpose. Inflammation serves as a complex and dynamic response orchestrated by the body's immune system to combat harmful stimuli such as pathogens, injuries, or irritants.

However, an extended state of inflammation can have counterproductive effects on the immune system itself.

When the body remains in a perpetually inflamed state, the immune system's ability to function optimally becomes compromised. This weakening of the immune response can lay the groundwork for the emergence of autoimmune conditions, in which case, the immune system begins to mistakenly attack the body's own tissues and cells, leading to a self-destructive cycle.

To break free from this detrimental cycle and promote healing, reducing inflammation within the body becomes paramount. Embracing lifestyle changes that focus on dampening inflammation can have a profound impact on managing and mitigating autoimmune disorders. Dietary choices rich in anti-inflammatory components, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and certain vitamins, can aid in reducing overall inflammation levels.

The good news is, this means that an autoimmune diet is a powerful way to reduce inflammation and autoimmune conditions. Download this month's free guide, and discover the top 12 anti-inflammatory foods - along with 20 great-tasting autoimmune-approved recipes!

Sound healing summit
Welcome back! We're back from our Minnesota vacation, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, so I'm very thankful for the long weekend!

As we kick off July and move into the heart of summer, I thought I'd share an interesting event with you this week...

It may sound strange and a bit "woo-woo," but did you know that sound healing is one of the most rapidly growing fields in transformational health practices, and has been proclaimed by many as the future of healing?


Leading-edge research on the science and theory of sound and vibration has demonstrated its impact on your physical, mental, and emotional bodies by identifying and measuring bio-markers such as increased lymphatic circulation, increased production of melatonin and endorphins, creation of new neural pathways in the brain, and increased release of nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter fundamental to your health.

During the upcoming online Sound Healing Summit, you’ll encounter myriad vibrational techniques — including harmonics, tuning forks, sound baths, and voice — that can help you achieve heightened states of relaxation and rejuvenation. Learn more below, and register for your free spot to learn more about this unique healing modality!

Causes of Chronic Illness
I've been interested in health for a long time, and especially how we, as individuals, can take control of our own health and lead naturally healthy lives amidst today's onslaught of chronic disease.

However, in recent years, I have become more and more fascinated with the impact that our minds have on our physical health. Even modern medicine - with all its flaws - recognizes this phenomenon (just look at the frequent reports of placebos offering relief from so many symptoms and diseases).

So I am looking forward to exploring this topic in more depth in this upcoming masterclass. If you would like to learn more about how to improve your health through mindset, please register to join me for this special series!

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: Holistic Health for Total Well-Being

5/21/2023

0 Comments

 
Holistic health & the mind-body-spirit connection
One thing that sets a holistic health approach apart from the conventional allopathic medicine model is its recognition that everything is connected - and not just the physical aspects of health, but also mental and spiritual factors as well.

Holistic health inherently implies that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and must be addressed as a whole to achieve optimal well-being. This perspective recognizes that our physical health is intimately linked to our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and that each aspect impacts the others in profound ways.

In today's post, we will explore these connections, and how we can use them to improve our overall health and well-being.

    Rose Sarko grew up on a farm in the Ozark mountains learning about healthy living, sustainable organic gardening, and the important connections between the natural world and humanity.
