It is official, quite a few people now seek out alternative medicines and supplements, such as acupuncture and yoga over prescription meds and trips to their doctor. While these medicines and supplements shouldn’t be used in place of going to your doctor if you are sick, they are extremely popular and work well for a variety of things.
Here are a few of the trending alternative medicines and supplements on the market today.
CBD Oils and Powders
CBD oils are said to work well for everything from relieving physical pain to helping cure insomnia, and from curing a headache to relieving the pain of anxiety. CBD in powder form is said to be a superfood that when used correctly can give your body an instant energy boost and has many other health benefits as well. This product has become a trend in healthcare recently and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
Melatonin
Everyone knows that sleep is the best thing for you, whether you are sick or healthy. However, when you’re stressed, sleep is the last thing on your mind and no matter how hard you try, the wheels won’t stop turning long enough for you to drift off. Melatonin is another alternative medicine and supplement that has become extremely popular lately. The use of melatonin by adults and children alike as a sleep aid, since it is all natural, is popular for the occasional sleepless night.
Coconut Oil
Another popular supplement in alternative medicine is coconut oil, which is said to be helping patients with ALS. Coconut oil can be used for a myriad number of things, so it’s something everyone is keeping in their cabinets these days.
Roseroot
Roseroot has been used in other cultures for centuries. It has made its way here to the U.S. and is a health and fitness trend at the moment. The root is said to help with workout endurance, and with many health issues, including depression, altitude sickness, and even fatigue. The root is also said to increase longevity, so it is an extremely popular alternative medicine today.
Fish Oil Supplements
This one has been around for a while but is gaining popularity as a supplement once again. It is now the most common natural oil and supplement taken by adults and children to date. It is said that fish oil lowers the risk of having a heart attack and developing heart disease, which is a number one killer today.
Rest, Exercise, and Eating Right
With all the supplements and alternative medicines out there, getting enough rest, exercising, and eating right are still right up there at the top of the list when it comes to staying healthy and fit. None of the products above will do you much good if you don’t do these three things. Remember that.
These are just a few of the trending alternative medicines and supplements at the moment. As with any other medicine or supplement, it is best to contact your primary health care provider, before changing yours or starting something new.
