For centuries, people have been using natural remedies to heal everything from broken bones to headaches.
Before the inception of modern medicine, this is the one thing people had to turn to.
However, what many people don't know is that they remain as effective now as they were in our ancestors' times.
And in most cases, they are even better than today's medicines.
The Chinese were the creators in the inventions of herbal and natural remedies.
They are attributed with ideas such as acupuncture, chiropody, and a wide assortment of herbs and potions that heal a number of illness.
Most of if not all of their creations remain in use in modern times, not only in the Far East, but as well as in the western nations as well.
Prior to modern knowledge, most of these cures were considered magic.
Several magic rituals were also used in conjunction with these techniques, which extended the belief in magic.
Though, these findings should not be given to chance, as there were many smart individuals who discovered these remedies.
Other ancient people like the Greeks and Egyptians also invented many useful treatments.
Hippocrates, a Greek philosopher, invented a technique widely used in modern surgery now called cauterization.
Hippocrates also came up with the caesarean section, or C-Section for short.
Ancient remedies are still in use in modern times, whether we realize it or not.
While today's technology and techniques have far surpassed what our forefathers were capable of, some of the most basic and useful techniques were invented many years ago.
Had it not been for these extraordinary techniques, most of our knowledge now would be gone.
While a lot of ancient practices and natural remedies have been shown to be useless, a wide assortment of the practices used in ancient times is still very effective, and in many cases a lot more effective than our own modern day techniques.
