Have you ever taken a look inside your medicine cabinet, and wondered which medications you were taking that are really necessary, and which could be easily replaced by a natural remedy? Many Americans are beginning to do this, and are finding that often they are able to replace multiple medications with just one natural supplement, herb, or spice.

The idea of dropping medications is scary, especially for those dealing with serious illnesses that feel they are dependent on them.

But it goes without saying that those medications have harmful side-effects that accompany whatever “relief” you are getting, which is really a mask for the problem. Medications almost never attack the problem at the source and fix it. They provide temporary relief and cause more problems down the road.

I have an ancient secret that could be the key to tossing out everything in your medicine cabinet, and it comes straight from India.

Tumeric is a one-stop-shop as far as medicine goes, and according to an article titled “20 Health Benefits of Tumeric” published by Eat This!, is effective in treating everything from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis, to a wide variety of different types of cancer.

The list of drugs that Tumeric and its active pharmacological ingredient Curcumin are proven effective to replace is border-line obscene, it’s so long.

“Cholesterol medication, steroid medications, antidepressants, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy drugs, and diabetes medications” are all able to be replaced by Tumeric, and this information is backed by studies and research, according to an article titled “Science Confirms Tumeric as Effective as 14 Different Drugs” published by Green Med Info.

I find it disturbing that Western society doesn’t teach us to utilize these important herbs in our daily life to avoid medical problems in the future. This is why it is important to spread the word.
The medications that we take accumulate as the medical problems develop. Consequently, we are told to take more medications. But, if we change the things that we eat, and put foods in our body that work as medicine, we might just be able to turn things around and stop the vicious cycle of havoc that our medical practices are causing in our bodies.

It is important that I note that I am not a medical professional by any means, simply someone who does research and writes about it. Therefore, you must not stop taking any sort of medication without a medical professional’s supervision. If you do not feel comfortable with it, by all means don’t do it.
