Western, conventional, and mainstream are words used to describe the system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals focus on treating illnesses and symptoms using drugs, surgery, radiation, and other research-based treatments. Eastern, or traditional Chinese medicine, has evolved over thousands of years and uses homeopathic remedies, such as herbal medicines and various natural mind and body practices to treat illnesses and their symptoms. In the United States, many people visit doctors only when they are unwell and use Eastern practices as a complementary approach to their health. As time progresses, a combination of these schools of thought are becoming more common, while utilizing more natural foods and products to prevent disease and maintain health. Many of the cells that make up the human body regenerate every few months, and do so with the nutrients that are available to them. If individuals in North Canton, Ohio; Massillon, Ohio; and beyond ingest only preservatives and chemicals, the cells can develop abnormally. If people choose to ingest healthy food alternatives — like non-GMO, organic, and gluten-free foods — the cells will have a superior quality of vitamins and minerals from which to choose, resulting in healthy cells functioning at their full capacity. Arukah Market believes that great food is the best medicine and opened their store to provide products that maintain or improve human health — from grass-fed butter, grass-fed meats, kobe beef, and wild caught fish to local raw honey, environmentally-safe cleaning supplies, and essential oils. Anyone can take the short drive from Alliance, Ohio, and beyond to peruse their vast array of nourishing and healthful products.
