Nature is God’s blueprint…and we see the wonders of his creation in all that he has done. He had us in mind when he designed it and he placed us over it to take care of it. When he designed nature and created us he also created natural cures and remedies for us. His prescriptions for our ailments.
Natural is the way to go. Whether it’s your look or healing it’s better for you. More and more people are realizing this and here’s a look into why.
Let’s examine the natural look:
Egyptians, who were at the forefront of beauty, invented the first make-up over 4000 years ago. Make-up was not limited to women back then, men wore it also. They wore it for protection from the sun and to ward off eye infections. Although their reasons are different than what ours are, it does the same thing, change your appearance.
Women spend a lot of money on make-up and devote countless hours to applying it. Why is that? Why is changing your appearance so important?
For some it’s to conceal areas they consider as imperfection and sometimes it’s legitimate. But sometimes it’s something that’s so minute that no one would ever see it if the person doesn’t actually show it to them or mention it.
Some wear it because they want to mimic someone else, like a particular actress or maybe even a girl from school. But how do men feel about women and make-up?
You’d be surprised…
Studies has actually shown that the majority of men, when asked their opinion about it, says less is more. They say there’s something sexy about natural beauty.
They have no problem with you wearing make-up but prefer a fresh face look. Some say they will support you if that’s what you really want but still insist that it shouldn’t be too heavy. Most agree that simple and natural is the way to go.
So I think natural beauty wins out in this instance and that you should only wear make-up to enhance or highlight certain areas. But if you’re someone who feels you have to wear it in order to feel beautiful then of course you should do whatever makes you happy…otherwise try the natural fresh face look…you just might like it.
Now let’s examine natural remedies:
Natural remedies are God’s prescriptions for the human race. From the common cold to weight loss there’s a solution for you.
Lord your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live!
Isaiah 38:16
You don’t have to worry about how many times a day you have to take natural remedies or best of all, no side effects because there aren’t any. No pills to pop and no damaging other organs in your body for something that’s totally unrelated.
The prescription for natural remedies is that you have to try them…and you have to be disciplined when you do. They’re usually as close as going to your nearest grocery store.
If you have any doubt about whether to try the natural approach here’s 3 reasons why you should.
- Safety: It’s shocking to realize that over 200,000 people die in the U.S. each year from taking prescription medication. Another 300,000 people die every year in hospitals as a result of medical negligence. That’s over half a million people each year (and these statistics are conservative). So how many die each year from using natural health remedies and alternative medicine…zero!
- Cheaper: Orthodox medical treatments can cost you a small fortune – private health insurance, the cost of medications, Medicare and doctor’s bills (even if you don’t pay for it directly, you pay for it in your taxes). Natural cures and remedies are far cheaper. Especially if you grow some of the home remedies in your garden.
- They work better: Yes, it’s a fact. Natural cures and remedies work better than orthodox medical treatments. Why? Because they treat the underlying cause, not just the symptom. Therefore, your body returns to it’s healthy state.
If you still have doubts about trying natural remedies and cures, you should see your doctor. The ultimate goal is to do what’s best for you.
I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them. I will comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far, says the Lord, who heals them.
Isaiah 57: 18-19
