Holistic Approches at Home

   In a world where you can't watch television without seeing an ad for some hotline to call about some "Bad Drug".  Meaning these Lawyers will help you, for a big cut of the lawsuit.  However, this lets us realize, that Doctors work with Pharmaceuticals to cram these pills down your throat.  Time, and time again we see the side effects out weigh the original "benefit" of the prescribed drug.
    So my question is how many people are starting to use a more " Holistic" approach to many problems that can be taken care of at home.  I am not talking about stitching a severed digit back on, I mean things like heartburn,  headaches,  blisters, nail fungus, dandruff, dry skin......that sort of thing.  Also, are more people turning to more Holistic Practitioners?  I would like to hear what people have to say.
