St. John’s Wort


St. John’s Wort is an exceptional anti-depressant herb. By many studies, it is as effective as prescription anti-depressants like Prozac, but without the brutal side effects. St. John’s Wort is also effective in treating some forms of anxiety. St. John’s Wort has been researched extensively, and its effectiveness is well documented. St. John’s Wort has a long history of use in Europe and is currently the most prescribed medicine for depression in Germany and France. In this age of anxiety and epidemic depression, St. John’s Wort is an important herb indeed..

St. John’s Wort can adversely interact with some drugs and should therefore be used with caution.

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!
