One of my clients brought me dying #phalaenopsis #orchid hoping that I would be able to rescue it. I was really happy to help.Three days later orchid came back to life.
This is what I did:
1) Remove all the dead, dried and damaged roots leaving as many healthy roots as possible.
2) Changed the substrate. For the new substrate I used sphagnum moss.
3) Fully submerged orchid in hot 50°C or 110°F water and ensured that the moss absorbs all the water and the heat.
4) Drained all the excess water out to avoid over hydration.
5) Put the orchid in a clear plastic bag.This would create a high humidity around the leaves and roots.
5) Placed it on a sunny and warm windowsill for three days.
6) Removed the plastic bag. The orchid looked nice, thick and healthy. Roots almost doubled in volume. Almost dead orchid was revived.
7) Continued to take normal care of the orchid.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as nurses and physical therapists, practice.

Complementary medicine is used together with standard medical care. An example is using acupuncture to help with side effects of cancer treatment.

Alternative medicine is used in place of standard medical care. An example is treating heart disease with chelation therapy (which seeks to remove excess metals from the blood) instead of using a standard approach.

The claims that CAM treatment providers make can sound promising. However, researchers do not know how safe many CAM treatments are or how well they work. Studies are underway to determine the safety and usefulness of many CAM practices.

To minimize the health risks of a CAM treatment

Discuss it with your doctor. It might have side effects or interact with other medicines
Find out what the research says about it
Choose CAM practitioners carefully
Tell all of your doctors and practitioners which CAM and standard treatments you use
