BODY SYSTEM INFORMATION
Where Do I Begin with
Natural Health Solutions?
This series of classes teaches about the entire body, one system at a time.
You'll learn a lot about how the body functions and what health problems are
related to which body system. You'll also learn about natural health remedies
for many health problems. You can study the entire body, or you can choose
topics that particularly interest you.
Intestinal System - The intestinal system is like a city's waste disposal plant.
While the digestive system breaks down nutrients so they can be distributed
throughout the body, the intestinal system generally absorbs waste products out
of the body so that they can be excreted with indigestible food fiber.
Respiratory System - Our respiratory system is essential to the growth and
movement of the body. By supplying oxygen, this system enables us to produce
energy. If the respiratory system's efficiency begins to diminish, then the
energy processes of our body also diminish.
Glandular System - Not only is the glandular system one of the most important
systems of the body, but it is also among the most complicated. Scientists have
just begun to discover its many mysteries. This is an easy-to-understand
overview.
Immune System - Every day your body is under siege, attempting to repel a
continuous assault by disease and virulent organisms. This is the real invasion
of the body snatchers - microbes that, if unchecked, would rob you of your
health, and eventually your life.
Nervous System - Nerves are somewhat like "electrical wires' that allow almost
instant communication to the far reaches of the body. If this system is not
working, you will have some "loud" signals that will get your attention.
Circulatory System - Like other vital parts of the amazing human machine, the
circulatory system was designed to last 100 years or more, given proper care.
Unfortunately, owner negligence contributes heavily to early breakdown.
Digestive System - The digestive process really begins when you simply think
about eating, or even when you smell the aroma of something you want. A drop in
blood sugar, the time of day, and the nose also may combine to signal the body
that it's time to eat. These signals awaken the sleeping organs that act upon
the food you eat in hundreds of different ways! Digestion is only simple at the
general level.
Urinary System - The basic function of the kidneys is to constantly monitor the
blood and make adjustments to its viscosity (relative thickness], chemistry and
pH. If the kidneys stop working, blood pressure becomes disturbed, ammonia and
other chemical buildups may lead to mental problems, body tissues may swell
(edema), and body functions will slow down.
Structural System - Like a building, the human body relies on its internal
structural system for strength. Bones, muscles and connective tissues give our
bodies form and mobility. They make it possible for us to know the job of hard
work well done and the excitement of childlike play.
Testimonial on The Above Class Series:
Dear Herbal Friends,
As a student naturopath with a lot of study to do, a husband, and a teenage son
to raise, I would just like to thank you for the invaluable help you have
provided with these classes. They are short and sweet and "cut to the chase." I
can't tell you how much I look forward to each new addition. Thank you so much
for a wonderfully useful service!
Yours Sincerely, Ann Grady
