The underlying philosophy of Ophiuchus Natural Health and Medicine is that the body has an innate ability to heal
itself and that this can be supported and stimulated by the wonderful gift
that nature has given to humanity - a medicine chest of healing plants. Most people can feel the healing power of nature just by being in natural environments such as
walking along the beach and inhaling the salty sea air, or the refreshing scent of pine that seems to open and clear the lungs when hiking through a forest.
Natural medicines contain hundreds of chemical constituents that work
together in synergy to exert a therapeutic action in the body (eg
anti-inflammatory). Rather than relieving symptoms of disease, natural medicines try to correct underlying dysfunctions by stimulating, relaxing or balancing body functions and processes. Although it can take time to see 'results' (often months in chronic conditions), they can have a very positive impact on health and normalising body functions. Because the active constituents in natural
medicines are usually much lower in concentration than pharmaceuticals,
they are generally very safe with none or very mild side effects.
