Herbal MedicineWhat are the Benefits?
Herbs can be effective in treating many conditions ranging from acute to chronic. As well as being used for health conditions, herbs are also used for preventative maintenance.
During the winter time and flu season, many people take herbs to simply boost their immune system. Herbs can also be taken to fight free radicals, which in turn slows down the aging process.
Common conditions treated by herbal medicines include:
• Upset stomachs
• Tonsillitis
• Cold and flu
• Headaches and migraines
• Menstrual problems (PMS)
• Sore muscles
• Skin conditions such as acne, rashes and boils
• Digestive disorders such as Peptic Ulcers
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Joint conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis
• Chronic skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis
• Depression, anxiety and tension related stress
• Respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis
• Allergies
• Nausea
• Stimulation of uterine contractions during labor
• Insomnia
Prescribed by a trained herbalist, herbal remedies are safe and have little to no negative side effects. Herbs are natural, non-invasive, and work in harmony with the body's own healing powers. They do not contain additives or other materials that may be added to conventional pharmaceutical drugs. Depending on the preference of the patient, many can be taken in various forms such as extracts, tinctures, powder, capsules, and pills.
