Natural herbal and at-home remedies are once again gaining in popularity as people try to get back to basics, save money, and avoid treatments that cause scary side effects.

What comes around goes around, now it appears that more, and more people who suffer from chronic pain, disease, or just annoying ailments are searching for answers outside of traditional prescription medication.

This movement has made the popularity of Nopalea Juice; made from the prickly pear cactus, increase dramatically. The prickly pear cactus, a plant native to the Sonoran desert, is renowned as a natural anti-oxidant and natural anti-inflammatory.

People all over the world are turning to herbs and plants to treat everything from acne to diabetes. They are using plants such as aloe and alfalfa and acacia and cilantro, cinnamon, and garlic to improve body function. These plants and many, many others help with digestion, liver function, glucose levels in the blood stream, high blood pressure, cancer prevention, constipation, stomach ulcers, obesity, diarrhea, and even bad breath.

Now, more and more, people are turning to Nopalea Juice, made from the Nopal Cactus and also known as Nopal and Nopalitos. This plant helps with diabetes, cholesterol, acne, eczema, obesity, joint pain, and gastrointestinal problems.

Dr. Oz has talked about the benefits of the cactus on two episodes of his show. He did a demonstration on how the fibrous plant can act as a natural regulator of sugar in the blood stream. He also talked about how the plant can be ingested to help with the pesky symptoms of a hangover, such as nausea.

People who have conditions traditionally treated with prescription medications are looking for alternatives and are turning to the prickly pear cactus.

Researchers are looking at how the prickly pear cactus is a natural way to fight chronic inflammation. The importance of stomping out inflammation became wide known a decade ago. A Time magazine article pointed out that the body’s first responder defense of inflammation can sometimes go haywire. When this happens and the inflammation continues to attack the body even after invaders are gone, it could lead to serious diseases and ailments.

In trying to avoid the known – and unknown – side effects of prescription drugs and medications, people are increasingly seeking treatment through proven natural remedies.

The prickly pear cactus is not a new discovery. It is believed that the use of this plant as both a food and medicine dates back to the time of the Aztecs and that visiting Spaniards brought the plant back home to their native country.

The juice is traditionally consumed in its native state in Central America as a somewhat slimy green drink. It has become more popular now that it is naturally sweetened with Agave nectar and tastes like a delicious treat.
