Many herbalists that I know got their start by first seeking answers to their own health issues and found herbs to be their solution. Their experience engaged them in a passionate study until folks began seeking them out for their knowledge and understanding of how herbs can also work for them, too. So, I guess it was about “thyme” for a resurgence of nature and a rediscovery of our responsibility to take care of our families and ourselves. This is one of the reasons why herbs are back in the spotlight once again.
Looking at this table you might think, “Why take all those herbs when I can take a drug in one pill?” There are two answers to that question. First, most companies will offer you herbal products that combine several herbs geared toward a certain condition into one pill. Granted, you will need a few of these pills every few hours, versus one of the OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, but the effects herbs have on your body are positive. Synthetic drugs of any kind can have permanent negative effects on your body and can lead to a damaged liver, kidney failure, decreased immune, and even death.
Second, take a look at the long list of ingredients listed on the back of that package of drugs you wanted to take. You are not getting just one ingredient, but also several chemicals, dyes, and synthetic materials (mostly words you never knew existed) all combined into one pill or dosage. You will also see a list of warnings and cautions to take into consideration. Are you really taking that for your health or for convenience? Why not bear through what you can, while helping your body get well with the use of herbs? Consider using medications when you feel that you must stop your symptoms immediately. Then get home as soon as possible, get some rest, and take your herbs!
