Natural and medicine to counteract the US blockade
The Department of Natural and Traditional Medicine in the Rehabilitation Room of Patricio Lumumba District in Contramaestre is distinguished for its respect and careful attention to patients.
In this place, the efficient use of plants constitutes an alternative to respond to the unjust and inhuman US blockade against Cuba, which prevents the acquisition of medicines. Patients arrive there every day, generally elderly, with the interest of relieving some ailments.
One of the professionals who works in the mentioned Department is the young graduate in Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Yalieski Aranda Rodriguez, who affirms that the cooling of the relations between Washington and Havana only forces us to take better advantage of the goodness of nature.
Garlic, onion, aloe vera, calendula, indigo, guava, ginger, plantain, male pine, among many others, says Aranda Rodriguez, make up the basic table of natural products that since August 2009 were located within the National Health System.
Other practices of traditional medicine
Because of its proven benefits, some practices are also used, such as Traditional Asian Medicine. Acupuncture points are stimulated with thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic, luminous stimuli, as well as suction cups, massages and traditional therapeutic exercises.
In the case of patients whose ailments propitiate mental and emotional alterations, floral therapy is used. Those prepared from flowers are able to act integrally in both psychic and organic conditions.
Ozone therapy is another of the therapeutic modalities applied in the Rehabilitation Room, using ozone and ozonized substances at optimal doses. Also Apitherapy, which has honey as its star product to obtain apitoxins, pollen, propolis and royal jelly that prevent and treat health problems.
For the young Yalieski, as for all the professional team, the greatest satisfaction is that the patient feels better. That is why he strives to perfect his knowledge and make natural and traditional medicine the best option for healing with his hands.
