Herbal Medicine – Herbs and Uses
Herbal medicine is basically herbs and uses to help people. To make herbal medicine the plant’s seeds, berries if present, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers may be used to prevent or relieve certain ailments. Herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years, yet only in the past decade or so has herbal medicine been thought of as mainstream. Herbal medicine is now seen as a natural cure or preventative measure, as opposed to possibly dangerous chemical drugs. Each time the media reports severe side effects from chemical drugs, more people begin searching for a natural cure.
Herbs and uses should be researched thoroughly before attempting to cure or prevent a disease. Herbal “cures” are seen by most governments, including the US government, as supplements, not drugs. Their effectiveness does not have to be proven, nor do the herbs safety. While the vast majority of herbs re quite safe, the process in which they are grown, processed, and stored does affect their effectiveness. Herbs can be grown with or without pesticide, and may contain other contaminants. It is always best to buy brand name supplements from companies that you trust.
Also, always tell your doctor if you are taking any herbal medicines. Certain prescription drugs can be effected by herbal supplements. For example, St. John’s Wort can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.
