Ayurveda Therapy is more common in my native county India. as lon as i know about Ayurvedic Therapy it cures headaches, stomach gas, and wounds. It is also used as natural herbal. i've had some of experience with herbs because when my mother cooks at home she uses some of herbs. The most common ones are turmeric, saffron, mustard seeds, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds and Carom Seeds. Whenever we have stomach gas my suggest that we should eat some of carom seeds.

Yes! CAM therapies are really common I would say in Latinoamerica. In my country, Ecuador, we use Herbalism a lot.It's an ancient custom that has passed from generation to generation.
I had so many personal experiences with it. But the recent one was when I had an stomach ache and I drank a chamomile hot tea with honey. I sometimes get tired of taking pills for my gastritis or it just doesn't work so well.

I think herbalism is the common CAM used in my country. Most of the population before go to the doctor, they try any of this herbs to help their pain or sickness, and most of the time it works.My personal experience is when I have my menstrual cramps i always drink manzanilla tea and it help me a lot.

well, in my country we use a lot of plants and herbs to cure,relief and improve health. Ecuador has a very rich variety of plants and herbs, such as chamomile,Luisa herb,celery,aloe vera,etc. But we also use other things to cure deseases. we use lemon not only as vitamin C but also for headaches, and another is lettuce for breast tumors!!! you have to put a lettuce leaf in the breast you have the tumor, and it seems to absorbe it. i was amazed when the doctor told me about that, but it worked. blessings..

CAM therapies are common in Haiti. We believe a lot in natural way to treat some sickness.For example, if we have high blood pressure we drink garlic tea to lower it.We blend oat and grape fruit in the morning to lower our cholesterol. It's really good, but you can't take it every day.You can use it like three times a week and check your doctor to see its level on your blood until you get cure.
