What are Natural herbs?

Natural herbs are natural time-tested remedies made up of plant, mineral and animal parts used to create balance in the body. These herbs were traditionally boiled into a tea. But due to the bitter taste and inconvenience of boiling tea for an hour, the herbs are more readily available in pill, capsule, tincture or granular form.

How are Natural herbs different from Western pharmaceuticals?

Natural herbs treat the root cause of your illness and not just your symptoms. Most medicinal plants contain an active component, as well as other chemical components that balance any potential side effects. When the active chemical in a plant is isolated and concentrated, other important compounds that balance the effects are lost. Western medications often work very quickly, but can have unpleasant side effects. Most natural herbs have no side effects when used in their whole plant form. They must be taken consistently for one week to several months, depending on the ailment. Because the plant is in its whole form, Natural herbs must be consumed in larger doses and more frequently. natural herbs can work in conjunction with your prescription drugs.
