Herbal Supplements |
| Simply put, herbal medicine is the use of any part of a plant--leaves, stems, seeds, roots, whatever--to promote better health. Herbs are mankind’s very oldest medicines, going back thousands of years, as ancient Chinese and Egyptian manuscripts attest. Herbal medicine is the use of plants to preserve or improve health. Along with vitamins and essential fatty acids, herbs potentially have dozens, even hundreds of uses in the body, from boosting immunity to improving mood and libido. Who should use herbal medicine, and how? It all depends on individual need and biochemistry. Fortunately, not only has a flood of recent research begun to validate herbal medicine, the use of herbs has a tradition of use and relative safety going back thousands of years. |
