There are many reasons people choose DIY health care. There is a growing mistrust of
pharmaceuticals, and a re-awakening of knowledge of natural healing. There’s also a growing interest in becoming
more self sufficient in as many areas as possible. For some people, it just comes down to cost.
In many ways, DIY health care can save money.
I’m all for it, however when it comes to health care
cheapest is not always the best choice. Think of it this way, if you are going
to maintain your car for many years, do you put the cheapest oil in it? Do you
buy the cheapest tires? Do you skimp on the brake pads? Probably not.
When it comes to DIY health, be sure the tools you use
really are the best. Here’s an example: One of my friends tried “treating” her
daughters ear infection with an essential oil purchased at a health food store.
She didn’t know that the oil was a poor quality, she figured it said “natural”
so it was fine. It was cheaper than the therapeutic grade essential oils I had
recommended and she went with it. Her
daughter had an allergic reaction to the chemicals the” natural” oil was cut
with, and ended up in the hospital.
If you are going to use supplements, herbs and essential
oils to “treat” a condition, get the best. Make sure the quality and purity are
guaranteed, and always look at the source. If it’s a bargain, there is probably
a reason.
