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.
