What do blood disorders, wounds, and arthritis all have in common? They are all linked to the health of the blood and the circulatory system. And they are all conditions that have a history of good herbal remedies behind them.

All the body’s cells must be supplied with nutrients and oxygen constantly. The blood carries oxygen through the circulatory system. A good diet is important to keep the blood built up and to ensure that there is no deficiency of necessary minerals and vitamins.

These vitamins and minerals help keep the blood healthy, so it can do its job. One of its jobs is to clot when there’s a wound. Wounds depend on the clotting ability of the blood to stop bleeding.

Good circulation is important when you have arthritis. Exercise can help. It is important to exercise on a daily basis. If you are afraid exercising will be painful, try taking a warm bath before attempting to do any exercises. Check with your doctor if you are concerned about exercising.

Herbal BeautyThere are many different types of arthritis and none are easy to live with. There is a type of arthritis that is associated with psoriasis. Bursitis is also a form of arthritis.

The studies done on rheumatoid arthritis have caused many to believe that the pathological changes to the joints are caused by an antigen-antibody reaction that is still not understood. If the condition is severe, bed rest is important for a short time. When the period of inflammation is gone, it is important that you get up and resume as normal a lifestyle as possible. Exercise is important because you must maintain muscle strength and keep the range of motion of the affected joints.

High blood pressure is a common disorder and a silent killer. It should be taken seriously. While trying the herbs as a remedy, it is important that you continue any medication that your physician has prescribed for you. I do want to caution you to continue with any treatment that your physician is using in treating your high blood pressure. Perhaps you could work with him or her to supplement your treatment with some of the more natural treatments.

Physicians, too, can learn a lot from you about respecting nature and using it to their advantage. The more discerning physicians are becoming more aware every day of natural methods and are relating this to their treatment of patients. Many doctors are finding that there are alternatives to prescribing drugs. By studying the natural methods, they have realized there are many different ways to deal with human illness.

You could check with your doctor to see if he or she approves of some of these ways to help with high blood pressure: Watch your diet, exercise regularly, cut down on salt intake, and keep your stress level low. It doesn’t hurt to stop and smell the roses and it wouldn’t hurt to start a meditation program to help you cope with stress.

I am a firm believer that stress is our number one killer. I also believe that learning to cooperate with nature and learning to love the quiet times can be a lifesaver. If we but study some of the laws of nature, we could learn to use those laws in our own lives. The trees bend with the wind in order not to break. We can use this advice in our own life. If we learn to bend when times are rough, we can ride out the hard times, too.

The changes of the seasons teach us that we, too, have changes in our life. Learn to appreciate them. Learn that out of destruction can come great blessings and new beginnings. Everything has a season and time for being—it’s a natural law.

We can learn patience by living with this law. We learn that the less we fight against something and the more we cooperate, the easier life gets. I relate this to gardening. We all fight the weeds so hard that we lose the pleasure of the garden, and nature becomes an enemy. Learn about some of the weeds and you find that they, too, have a lot to offer us.

We can learn more about some natural methods to take care of our gardens. We can become protective of the food chain and fight to stop some of the more harmful methods now in use to control nature. Even the insects have a place in the food chain. We can learn to respect insects, animals and people—along with Mother Nature. We can learn that to give thanks is helpful—even to plants. Life just seems to get much easier when we stop fighting and start living.
