With the development of modern medicine patients just as everybody else had to follow the laws of modern economics and this way invariably turned into customers. Every sick person in the western world today is a buyer of medical goods and services.
Being a customer brought along a new sensibility towards quality, consumer protection and the possibilities of worldwide trade.
For the last three decades we have seen this kind of customers being much more demanding when it came down to the availability and standards of products. In this sense we have witnessed a steady increase in the demand for services like acupuncture and for goods like kratom that 30 years ago were virtually unknown to western consumers.
This new sensibility also brought along a new critical attitude towards the big working horses of the medical industry: the pharmaceutical giants. Shocked by an endless number of medical scandals throughout these decades, consumers of medical goods did not take unquestioned anymore what the doctor prescribed. They wanted explanations, they wanted alternatives, and in many cases they even wanted to work their way back into medical history and go back to the roots - the classical treatments by pure herbal remedies known for centuries.
One of the most important parts of treatment is and has always been the treatment of pain. Mostly it is pain that shows us something is wrong in our body, and mostly we consider ourselves “healed” as soon as this pain has vanished.
Treatment of pain is still one the most lucrative and most intensively researched fields in the medical sciences.
This is the reason why we decided to make this site: to give the modern consumer of medical goods a short, comprehensive guide how to treat his pain with herbal remedies.
For this reason we excluded all the strong herbal remedies from our list - these are opiates or opioids, only available under prescription and not suitable for any self-treatment. |
