Herbal Highs Review and Precautionary Measures

Herbal highs are easily available and are legal in the United States and many more other countries. These natural highs are derived from herbs, herbal blends and herb extracts. A natural high is not same as the high derived from alcohol.

Herbal Highs and Tobacco
There are a few important things one should know before considering getting these natural highs. Herbs are not like marijuana or tobacco, the high gotten with marijuana or tobacco is completely different from the high which one gets from natural herbs. Important thing is to find out which herbs are smooth and which are harsh.

How To Start
The best way to start smoking these herbal highs is to start with small amounts. This way you will be able to decide whether you like its taste or not. You can start with sample blends as it will also make your body become accustomed to it.

Addictive Behavior

Health Conditions
One should avoid using herbal highs if he is suffering from any medical condition, he should consult his doctor before getting high with herbs. Also pregnant women should not take herbal highs as it may be harmful for the baby. The most important thing is do not drive or operate any machinery while you are under the influence of herbal highs.

Choosing A Natural Health Magazine Which is Unbiased

Natural health magazines abound, often giving you conflicting advice. Who should you believe?

I believe any good natural health magazine, like any good magazine, shouldn't so much give you advice, rather they should give unbiased important pros and cons and leave you to work out the best solution for you.

After all you are unique. What is helpful to the magazine editor may be harmful to you. Only you can decide.

Being unbiased is hugely important. We're all reading in the news how doctors have been paid to create unsubstantiated 'scientific' papers supporting some drug or other.

Natural health magazine editors are people too. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. If the editor only advocates items they receive a royalty form, they aren't unbiased.

Sure, we all need to make our daily crust, but it's best to be open about what we profit from.

A good natural health magazine should look at all aspects of health, not just focus on physical ailments. For example, diet is critical to good health.

I recently read of six people, all suffering with type 2 diabetes, on insulin and all obese. Within one week of a change of diet, most were off their insulin. Within one month, they all were.

Isn't that awesome?

I find it extraordinary that doctors receive no nutritional training whatsoever.

Yet I doubt there is a natural health therapist who doesn't understand the importance of diet.

Natural health covers every aspect of who you are. You aren't just your body. You aren't just your mind. You are a unique and complex unit. Your feelings and emotions are as important (actually more so) as your thoughts and creations.

So any natural health magazine worth its salt will cover aspects of your emotional health, as well as your physical health. When you ignore your emotional health, sooner or later you'll suffer physical ill health.

Everyone knows that stress causes anxiety and that anxiety causes higher blood pressure and faster heart rate. While that's fine for a short period, if you continually have these 'anxiety attacks', your physical health will deteriorate.

But you don't have to resort to drugs. There are many effective, natural alternatives. And homeopathy can actually get to the cause of why you are suffering these attacks in the first place.

And fix it.

And lastly, your magazine should have a readers question area. Whilst the answer may not be specifically helpful for your ailment, they should be able to point you in the right direction. They should know what areas each natural health modality excels in and which has limited ability.

For example, you wouldn't go to a masseuse if you had incontinence. And you probably wouldn't go to a chiropractor if you had a torn ligament. It's doubtful you'd see an acupuncturist if you had been abused as a child.

Yet all these health issues can be resolved using homeopathy.
