hands holding as a symbol of faith - a natural cure

When you are involved in an auto accident, going to a homeopathy doctor or herbalist would not help. When you get bacterial infection, going to an aromatherapist or taking yoga meditation would not be as effective as taking antibiotics.

Like modern medicine, alternative therapies do not provide answers for everything. It only complements the conventional medicine that we have been accustomed to.

Alternative medicine however, provides powerful cure in treating depression, act as anathetic, energizing the body's own healing power and offers hope for certain illness which modern medicine may not have answer for, like cancer.

But before we start a treatment, it is good to get an advice on it. So, what this section does is to clarify certain issues regarding alternative medicine.

Our stand on alternative medicine

At Oohoi, we firmly believe that alternative medicine starts with a better lifestyle - which means more natural food and a lot of common sense. Apart from that, we believe emotion, faith and positive thinking are all related to health.

If you are thinking about trying alternative medicine, you should first think about eating differently and changing your lifestyle rather than rushing to the nearest acupuncture clinic. Treatment should be your second consideration, not the first. This way the benefit gained will be longer lasting and natural.

Our belief

At Oohoi we believe health must be promoted this way:-

It must help people NOT to get sick in the first place
Promote real healing - using the body's own power

We sense the future of alternative medicine is bright and it is our hope that this small site could make a contribution in promoting change towards our perception of health and medicine.
