Natural Remedies for Illness

A Complimentary Approach to Healthcare

Natural Remedies for Illness are therapeutic products made from plants or parts of a plant. These products are produced from the leaves, flowers, stems, roots, seeds, fruit or bark. The plants may be dried, powdered and used directly in capsules or tablets. Also, these plants may be soaked in water or alcohol to remove certain ingredients which are then used as an extract.

Complimentary and Alternative Therapies may also be considered natural remedies for illness, depending on the chosen treatment option.

The Popularity of Complimentary Health Care

‘One in three Americans is using some form of complimentary or alternative medicine.’

Complimentary and alternative medicine has grown in popularity because Americans want to control their own health care.

The National Health Interview Survey, in 2002, reported:

“Over 73 million adults sought complimentary and alternative medical treatments for overall well-being and specific health conditions.”

The philosophy of traditional, western medicine is to treat and/or suppress the symptoms of illness. Natural remedies for illness treat the underlying cause(s) of disease.
