That's one reason why global healthcare industry is thriving. There is any number of health clinics and hospitals. And numerous health companies and products.On the dark side, packs of quacks compete with genuine healthcare givers. They too offer in package promises of health. Many of them have a singular agenda: to cash in upon your basic need of health. Then another problem arises: you spend, sometimes beyond your means. You hope to hit upon that elixir of total well-being. Fact is, the chase for health is often elusive.
There is a way you can avoid mindless wasting of your money on healthcare. Nature has pure products, enough to keep you blooming with health and well-being, at a fraction of the cost.

We hope it will lead you too. So you'll stop falling sick, start living your health and enjoy life as you really should, naturally.

How the Khasi's Got Plants for Medicine- a Folk Story
Long ago in the land of the Khasi tribe of Meghalaya there lived a couple and their two small children. One day the father fell ill and died. The mother and her two children found themselves without any means of livelihood.
In their village, there also lived a rich but evil man, a sorcerer, who soon proposed to marry the widow. Although she did not want to marry again, she agreed for the sake of her children. The new husband ill-treated them from the start. Many times they went to bed without food and were very unhappy.
One day the stepfather had to go away on business. The mother took this opportunity to take her children on an outing to a dense forest. They enjoyed their time out and gathered wild edible plants to eat. The mother cooked a meal but as they were about to have it she realized they had no salt. The children told their mother not to bother as they could season the food with ash from burnt wood. She refused to listen and went on ahead, although it was getting dark.
On the way back, however, she lost her way in the darkness. When she didn’t return the children started to worry. They moved about looking for a safe place to spend the night. To their luck, they found a hut in mid-forest that looked unoccupied.
As they entered they found little monkeys inside, eating food. The children were so hungry they snatched the monkeys' food. The animals resisted but could not match the children's strength. They scampered off to their parents who hurried to the hut only to be also shooed away. So the monkeys decided to leave the hut and live on trees, eating only fruits from that time onward.
Early the next morning the children's mother found the hut and the children sleeping. She saw there was enough food besides a safe shelter and decided never to return to the cruel husband. As days went by the cruel stepfather got enraged. In his anger, he summoned all the evil spirits through sorcery. He ordered them to inflict every kind of disease on humankind.
Soon everyone began to suffer. Illness and death permeated the earth and the whole of it writhed in anguish. Very soon the good spirits of the waters, hills and dales heard the humans' plaintive cries. They felt sorry for them and reported their plight to God the Creator. God took pity on them and devised a plan to teach humankind the technique of taking care of their health.
He gave them seeds of plants with properties to cure any ailment. He also gave them knowledge and understanding about diseases and their remedies. The herbs not only helped cure but kept them healthy and well. Thus, to this day most Khasi's use Nature's pure products and stay healthy.
Whenever they fall ill they take recourse to plants and herbs to revive and rejuvenate. Illnesses may be minor colds and fevers, or cuts and bruises. They may be major fractures and cancers, or snake-bites or dog-bites. The healers have the right remedies. In fact, on record, there are more than 800 medicinal plants and herbs in the Khasi hills that provide not only nourishment but cures for ailments of every kind.
