The medicine system gives credits to the plant kingdom which are the major contributor in formulations of varied types of drugs and medications. Whether in Modern or Western medicine, where synthetic method is adopted to derive plant extracts for preparing medicines or as in Chinese medicine, Nature healing or ayurveda medicine (http://www.sbmayurcare.com/) system where medicines are in its most natural form, the herbs are inevitable in the therapeutic world. In the ancient medical system of Ayurveda, herbal remedies have been constantly formulated and modified for more benefit. Herbal health remedies eventhough gradual in healing, ensures prolonged relief.

In ayurveda, herbs are consumed, injected, inhaled or applied according to the kind of disease and therapy required. Health supplements in ayurveda are used to boost ones' energy and revitalise the immunity and strength of the body. The deficiencies in the body can be cured through ayurvedic herbal supplements. The extracts and essences of plants in form of oils are used for massages, aromatherapy, panchakarma and rasayana therapy. The herbal oils absorbed into the body help it to relax and heal.

Herbs are included in diet for their high nutrition and healing power. The health concious are including herbal tea, herbal food and supplements for a better and resistant health. Thus herbal health helps in curing the most deep-seated illness and improve health. However the elixir can turn into poison if taken in excess or inappropriately. A practitioner's prescription is thus the most advisable step before taking any kind of medication, herbal or not.

Garin ... It is much healthier to get fresh herbs than to buy them in processed form. Some of the most vital chemicals in them are lost during processing.

Word of warning: rejecting pharmaceutical preparations of plant origin in favour of fresh herbs is equally ill-advised, since with the unpurified plant, you receive inaccurate dosing, along with ingestion of a host of other chemicals which may interfere with the target-chemical's chemical absorption and metabolism.

From my understanding herbs as said in excess doses can be deadly,and the preparation decreases the effectiveness.As we learn in school healthy cells means a healthy body and that is why we eat,but with the over processing and bleaching of our foods and otherwise,it is compulsory that we supplement our diet despite what the medical field may say,over 70% of doctors use vitamins and minerals but does not share it with their patients.So a well balance multivitamin as scientific proven saves life and reverses most of the degenerative diseases....

I have yet to see a warning on naturally grown herbs that says "consult your Physician before use" but yet there are on Pharmaceutically Engineered supplements. Also, most of them have not had the approval of the FDA because even though the chemical compound were given to rats, they were not tested on humans. So being Pharmaceutically Engineered does guarantee the daily nutritionally recommended doses.

The the FDA is bought over by the pharmaceuticals.

Someone blew the whistle, there was an investigation so they can't hide it.
