Two Facts You Need To Know Aout Health

Health is defined as a condition of physical, mental and social well- being and the absence of disease or other abnormal condition. According to some forms of traditional medicine practices, an ill condition develops because the individual has violated a course that Nature wants them to follow. Whenever, the body's natural rhythm is disturbed in some form, the body responds to undo the disturbance. The response of the body is in the form of symptoms that causes an illness.

One example of the symptoms appearing in response to a disturbance is when we have an infection. Fever is a typical response of the body when any part of it suffers with an infection. In reality, the body is trying to kill the infecting bacteria by raising the body's temperature. From a medical standpoint, fever is a symptom of infection.

The two facts that you need to know about health and illness are related to our emotions. How the emotions affect our body and mind is a not well-known area in modern medicine. However, in traditional medical practices all over the world, the role of emotions in illness and health is well known.

Fact one-When we undergo any negative or traumatic emotional experience,


the body tends to 'absorb' or 'lock up' the effects in a mild way. The more the person goes through traumatic experiences, the more the body becomes tense or stressed out. This weakens the immune system. The body's abilities to deal with any invasion by disease causing organisms is compromised. So when the illness strikes, the medicines and drugs affect the body in proportion to how much the body can help them in being effective. Some people need more medicines than others because of this reason.

Fact two- The more relaxed your body becomes, the better is the immune system. The body's healing system tackles the problem on its own. One does not need much medication in such a case. The relaxed body aids in the healing process. This is the reason why people who practice meditation, yoga or tai-chi do not suffer with many illnesses.
