What is Nature Cure?

Nature Cure: My Inspiration and Motivation for this Blog

What Inspired and motivated me to make this blog:

My Desire to help friends from "Dis-eases", inspired me to share a compendium of information, clippings, studies, research, health nuggets, experiences I read and my own thoughts on them. Compiled in one blog that serves as a "Bridge" to cross and have their own journey into Self-healing through Nature's Pharmacopoeia.

I Hope it will be of benefit to you and others. Wishing you all a happy healthy life. MABUHAY!

According to Allan Moyle ( About Nature Cure) it is a method of curing disease without drugs or surgical interference. However, Nature cure is not merely a negative approach to disease- it is a positive way of life. Nature cure has increased its following because results have demonstrated that safe methods of healing do exist. It is based upon the concept that ONLY NATURE HEALS and that within the human organism lies the essential healing power to overcome disease.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said "Nature Alone Heals", and this contention has stood the test of ages.

"Let Thy Food be your Medicine and Thy Medicine be your food."

Too many people on too many drugs. No one wants to take the time to eat right. Still don't understand why people would rather pour money into "Health Insurance" when it does nothing to insure you are healthy! Spend the money on GOOD FOOD and LIFESTYLE CHANGE and learning how to LIVE AND EAT right! That is True Insurance. ;)"

"Let us give Nature a chance. She knows her business better than we do."- Montaigne

Caring for pets cultivate our nurturing nature

Prayers and Meditations are good for healing: Whatever religion or belief system you belong, connecting to the source or creator is healing
