    About this ebook

    Holistic Herbal Medicine: Most of the modern chronic diseases are not contagious diseases. They are not caused by bacteria or viruses. Based on my clinical experience with holistic herbal medicine, I strongly believe that the root causes of most of the modern chronic diseases are in nutritionally imbalanced diet, unhealthy lifestyle factors, lack of physical and breathing exercises, mental stress, and stressful physical and social environments in which one is living, working, and travelling. Correction of these factors and customized herbal medications can cure most of the modern chronic diseases including coronary artery disease. If they cannot be completely cured in case of some diseases, they can be managed to be within acceptable limits to permit normal life with pure herbal medications and without any side effects.

      Holistic Herbal Medicine for Modern Chronic Diseases - Dr Gutta Lakshmana Rao

      Holistic Herbal Medicine: Most of the modern chronic diseases are not contagious diseases. They are not caused by bacteria or viruses. Based on my clinical experience with holistic herbal medicine, I strongly believe that the root causes of most of the modern chronic diseases are in nutritionally imbalanced diet, unhealthy lifestyle factors, lack of physical and breathing exercises, mental stress, and stressful physical and social environments in which one is living, working, and travelling. Correction of these factors and customized herbal medications can cure most of the modern chronic diseases including coronary artery disease. If they cannot be completely cured in case of some diseases, they can be managed to be within acceptable limits to permit normal life with pure herbal medications and without any side effects.

      This monograph argues that nutritionally imbalanced diet, unhealthy lifestyle factors, sedentary life (lack of regular physical and breathing exercises), mental stress, and stressful physical and social environments are the most important root causes of most of the modern chronic diseases. By persuading the patients in correcting these factors holistic, participatory, customized, and pure herbal medicine is able to cure most of the modern chronic diseases.

      Preface

      Most modern chronic diseases are not contagious diseases. They are not hereditary diseases either. What some patients seem to inherit from their parents and grandparents are, in fact, diet and lifestyle factors. Diseases caused by these factors over two or three generations are often mistaken to be genetically inherited diseases. Most modern chronic diseases are civilization oriented, degenerative, self-inflected diseases. The root causes are in imbalanced diet, unhealthy lifestyles, sedentary life, mental stress, and health damaging physical and social environments. Cardiovascular blockages and plaque, hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, asthma, sinusitis, allergy, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gas, acidity, constipation, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, kidney stones, gallbladder stones, acne, pimples, hyperpigmentation, menstrual irregularities, menstrual cramps etc. fall into this category.

      When a patient with one or several of these ailments walks in for a consultation, the physician does not elicit any information on diet, lifestyle factors etc. of the patient or origin and development of the ailments. He simply orders some diagnostic tests and then prescribes a number of symptom-supressing palliative medicines on the basis of diagnostic test results. Diagnostic test reports only indicate the location of the disease and the present condition of it. They cannot throw any information on the history of the disease, or the root causes of the disease, or the diet and lifestyle factors of the patient that caused the disease. At present this is the situation with most of the established medical systems.

      Palliative medicines can neither make for the deficiencies of diet and lifestyle factors of the patient nor can they cure modern chronic diseases. As a result most of the patients of modern chronic diseases also believe that daily maintenance medications for life are normal in relation to these diseases.

      Holistic herbal medicine believes that correction of deficiencies in the factors that cause chronic diseases lays a firm foundation for curing these diseases. Detailed information on diet, lifestyle factors etc. is obtained from the patient. Root causes of the disease are identified and explained at length to the patient. He is made fully aware how the changes he is advised will help to eliminate the root causes of the disease and help us in completely and permanently curing the disease. In essence, the patient is empowered to participate in the treatment. Though the disease is same, every patient comes from a different background so customized medicines and/or
