The esoteric elements of Fire, water, air and earth are a fundamental way of understanding the basic forces of the world. All traditional societies and their natural sciences use them as a powerful way of understanding the forces acting on us and the world. Essentially, the elements are ways in which information is organized.
Many scholars trace the origin of the theory of the four elements to ancient Egypt, from which this knowledge passed to Greece, Rome and finally the rest of Europe. However, some assert that knowledge of the elements was known in Europe independently and alongside ancient Egypt. Elemental theory is, and was also known and used in other parts of the world too, like India and china, but with some variation in their properties.
Here are the basic properties of the elements in classical Western thought:
Fire- Hot, dry and ascending
Water- Cold, moist and descending
Air- Wet, warm and expansive
Earth- Dry, cool and contractive
Quintessence- Ethereal and plasma-like
Thoth- god of thought and alchemy
This website is devoted to informing people about healing using tried and tested medicines and methods based on ancient practices that are completely natural and effective. Traditional natural medicines have been used by humanity for the overwhelming majority of time, and as such, are more accurately labeled "conventional" medicine. It has stood the test of time, healing countless numbers of people the world over from time immemorial. Modern medicine, on the other hand, is the "alternative" medicine when viewed from a broader perspective, and has not stood the test of time. Will it survive? absolutely not; because modern medicine is about profits, and not healing.Modern medicine, with it's use of synthesized, artificial drugs, is causing destruction on an unbelievable scale. Modern drugs work against the body rather than with it. They destroy the body's immune system, vitality and ability to heal itself. Modern drugs are synthesized from plants, mostly medicinal herbs. Specific chemicals are isolated from the plant material, synthesized, and put into pill form. They always have side effects; and this is because the other chemicals in the natural herb that counteract the negative effects are not present in the synthesized drug. This is the big difference between synthetic drugs and raw herbs. The natural herb has evolved over millions of years to work as effectively as possible, while countering harmful side effects and providing maximum benefit to the human using it. Herbs are made up of hundreds or thousands of different chemicals interacting in immensely complex combinations; resulting in a balanced and effective medicine. Considering this, it can be seen how crude synthetic drugs are in comparison to the infinitely more sophisticated chemical combinations that nature has developed. It is an as of yet unreachable goal for our scientists to create such perfect and sophisticated medicines that nature has already provided us with
The whole drug industry, when you get right down to is, is about making money. It is not about healing people- it never was. Natural herbs cannot be patented, and therefore little money can be made from selling them. This is the brutal truth. Furthermore, drug companies don't want people to be healthy, they want sick people to sell their drugs to!
