Traditional Medicine

Posted on by admin

The World Health Organization definition:
Traditional medicine (TM) refers to the knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness. Traditional medicine covers a wide variety of therapies and practices which vary from country to country and region to region. In some countries, it is referred to as “alternative” or “complementary” medicine (CAM).

Traditional medicine has been used for thousands of years with great contributions made by practitioners to human health, particularly as primary health care providers at the community level. TM/CAM has maintained its popularity worldwide. Since the 1990s its use has surged in many developed and developing countries.

Medicinal Plants

Posted on by admin

DESPITE INCREASES in the production of synthetic drugs, natural plant drug materials are still economically significant in the united States, and large quantities are harvested in the southern Appalachian region each year for medicinal purposes. A 1962 survey of 328,599,000 new prescriptions written in the U. S. showed that 25 percent were for drugs from natural plant products. However, during the past 30 to 50 years, fewer and fewer people have been harvesting wild lants in Appalachia, which is the principal American source, mainly because of families emigrating to more prosperous areas. Between 1950 and 1960, the southern Appalachian region lost through emigration more than a million people, nearly a fifth of the population. Increases in local blue-collar employment opportunities, a growing reluctance to work in the fields and forests, scarcity of some plants because of over-collecting, and land-use changes have also reduced the natural plant harvests for drug materials.

To locate, collect, and prepare plants for market is time-consuming work. Some collectors do not know all the useful plant species and the best markets for them. This manual was prepared to help collectors identify, collect, and handle plants, plant parts, and pollen.

Not all the plants listed are marketable at all times; so the collector would do well to write to one of the collecting houses listed (table 1) for prices and information about market demand. Buyers of such material are helpful in providing other useful information on collecting.

Dr. Ronald Dushkin
250 West 49th Street
New York, NY 10019

Holistic Medicine, often called “Alternative or Complementary Medicine,” is an approach to medical care that focuses on treating the whole person – physically, emotionally and spiritually – and it encourages patient participation in one’s own healing process. Many people seek Homeopathy and other Holistic modalities simply because conventional medicine has not been effective for them.

Dr. Dushkin treats people using alternative, natural, and safe Homeopathic remedies. These FDA approved natural medicines are made primarily from plants and minerals, and stimulate a person’s own natural healing mechanisms to create health and balance from within.

Some of the conditions Dr. Dushkin has successfully treated with Homeopathy include:

ACNE, ADHD, ALLERGIES, ANXIETY, ASTHMA, CHRONIC EAR INFECTIONS, DEPRESSION, ECZEMA, FATIGUE, HEADACHES, HYPERTENSION, INSOMNIA, IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS), MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS, MENOPAUSAL PROBLEMS, PANIC ATTACKS, PMS, PSORIASIS, SINUSITIS, STRESS RELATED CONDITIONS
