Herbs are considered dietary supplements, and basically part
of the food chain. Prescription drugs, to come to market, must
undergo hundreds of millions of dollars of clinical testing to
prove their efficacy and measure their toxicity. Herbs are
nature's medicines that have sometimes 5,000 years of
historical use for many conditions. Only in recent times have
universities and private industry taken these traditional uses
and run clinical studies to determine how they might be working
or have worked in the past and predict what they might be
useful for in the future. However, they are still dietary
supplements, and really are subject to claims that are just
associated with structure and function of the human body.

Herbal Medicine is the use of botanicals (plants) either
singularly or in combination to prevent and treat certain
ailments and illnesses. People native to different geographical
locations have long used plants and plant extracts to cure
specific maladies. Sometimes referred to as "folk" medicine, it
is generally recognized that there are three schools of
research one can follow with regard to the history of these
treatments. Check the recommended products in

medieval sources which is largely used by Western schools of
thought, Ayurvedic which comes from India and the Eastern
tradition of Chinese Herbal Medicine. Rather than separation,

than division.

Ayurvedic loosely translates to "knowledge of life." Dating
back to more than 6,000 years ago, Ayurvedic Medicine practiced
not just Herbal Medicine, but some of the earliest surgical
procedures as well as inoculation. Over the years Ayurvedic
Medicine became increasingly more symptomatic as opposed to
treating the root cause of disease which originally was steeped
in strengthening the immune system.
With all our so-called advancements in the medical field,
it’s interesting that physicians are still treating "effect"
rather than "cause." The old adage that, "an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure" could not be more true.
This is especially true when it comes to natural remedies. Most
natural remedies are botanical. Singularly or in combination,
the numbers of herbs available is astounding.
