Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine uses traditional herbal mixtures to cure diseases. Herbal medicine is a part of alternative medicine, and most of its cures have not been tested though many people still believe in them. It is not true, however, that all herbal medicine is good or that it has no side effects – the poison is in the dose, and herbal medicines can be harmful like all other kinds of medicine when not used properly.

Join our online group on herbal medicines to talk about herbal medicines with people who are interested in them and learn more.

Hiatus Hernia

Hiatus hernia happens when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This usually happens through the hole in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes into the abdomen. Most cases of hiatus hernia cause no symptoms and are not considered a health risk, so long as the larger part of the stomach does not pass through the hernia.

High Density Lipoproteins

High density lipoproteins are lipoproteins that can carry cholesterol from the arteries to the liver for excretion. (Lipoproteins are the form in which fatty substances (lipids) are carried in the blood.) High density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol is therefore the ‘good’ cholestrol.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine based on the principle that ‘like cures like’: tiny doses of a substance that causes the same symptom a person is suffering from will help cure those symptoms. Homeopathy was developed in Germany in the 19th century, and it is practiced all over the world today though it is still controversial.
