My interest in complementary medicine continues to grow. Whenever I have simple illness or experienced minor pain, I’m always finding an alternative ways like natural therapies to cope with it. However, taking those herbal medicines require careful, proper use and enough studies. The use of herbs to treat illness dates back thousands of years and herbal medicine, in various forms, is still widely practiced today. I can still remember when I was young; we have lots of medicinal plants on our backyard. My grandparents had taught us about this stuff and we found it very useful with our lives.
Herbal medicine aims to treat the root cause of an illness rather than just the symptoms, in the belief that this will bring the body back into balance and stimulate the body’s own healing powers. Certain herbs are thought to have a medicinal effect on particular parts of the body and so remedies are prepared accordingly.
Herbal remedies on the other hand are extracted from the leaves, flowers and other parts of the plant. Herbal remedies can be self-selected to heal minor everyday ailments.
If you have medical condition like heart condition, consult a Doctor first before taking homeopathic or herbal remedies.
