Herbs Activate cells, Build tissue and Cleanse toxins from the body.
We are all familiar with herbs whether we have taken them as a supplement or simply used them in our cooking. Herbs have been used for hundreds of years as a form of natural medicine. In fact many drugs used today are based on herbal formulas. The problem is that when artificial versions are made they often have side effects. Valium, for example is the artificial addictive drug based on the non-addictive natural herb valerian.
Herbs bring new health to the lives of many people. Their value as a medicine has been known for centuries. Herbal remedies were the natural drugs used to cure various ailments of long ago. King Solomon used herbs. In fact, common references to herbs throughout the Bible indicate that herbs were used by kings and commoners alike.
Today's health-conscious public are now realizing that herbs can also bring all round better living. Athletes are finding that certain herbs give added strength and stamina. Herbs are helping thousands to control weight and keep in shape. As a beauty aid they far surpass any of the concoctions of today's cosmetologists. Students are finding that herbs enhance their alertness and mental capacity. But is it any wonder?
Good health comes from good food, adequate exercise, and from giving special attention to particular areas of concern. You need to take precautions and avoid particular herbs when pregnant and reduce the dosage given to children.
With health as our goal and proper nutrition as our tool, we can bring a healthy balance to our lives.
Natural health care is coming of age and here is a short list of traditional, accepted, and widely successful herbal remedies for common health problems. The remedies have been successfully used to cure health problems.
The remedies explained here are the most common and most successful remedies. But they are not the only remedies. This guide is a first step guide that explains how most people have overcome their poor health conditions.
I am offering advice that has worked for others but it is not my intention to diagnose or prescribe. To understand how to use herbs to restore health, we must first understand how food affects the body. Proteins, vitamins and minerals are the builders and maintainers of the cell. Herbs are the cleansers of the body, feeders of the glands and balancers of the hormones.
Unfortunately, no matter how well we care for our bodies, they naturally build up toxins. Toxins are poisonous substances which are the results of metabolic activity. Those toxins which the body cannot eliminate are often detoxified by the building of antibodies. If not, illness ensues.
Herbs make the body function better by removing the toxins. For this reason it is understandable that when a herb is used for the first time, it may have a laxative effect This is a natural reaction as the body cleanses itself of impurities. If the laxative effect is too great, reduce the herb intake.
This guide does not directly or indirectly dispense medical advice. Nutritionists and other experts in the field of health hold widely varying views. It is not the intent to diagnose or prescribe. The information is a collection of various treatments and uses of herbs, herbal combinations and nutritional advice from a variety of sources. Only the most common or most widely accepted uses are mentioned. If you decide to diagnose for yourself and use the information without your doctor's approval, you will be prescribing for yourself, which you have every right to do.

When using a new herb, begin with a recommended dosage and observe how your body reacts to it. If you do not receive the desired result, increase or decrease the dosage accordingly. When herbs are used for restoring health, dosages will need to be five to seven times that which is required for maintaining health. Depending of course on the ailment and the severity of it, approximately three months of sustained high dosage is usually required before the body is repaired. Sometimes it takes a full year for reparation to occur so that a person goes through all four seasons. The science of Homeopathy teaches that it takes one month for every year of illness for the person to rebuild the body. Medical science has made us naturally wary of overdoses and wrong dosages. With herbs you can put your mind at ease. Herbs are food, not drugs. There are no dangerous side effects as with drugs. It takes time and experimenting to learn which herbs work best for you. Years of misuse or neglect cannot be repaired any more readily with herbs than with dangerous drugs. Give herbs a chance. Allow the body to heal slowly, naturally, and effectively with herbs. Proper food is very important and some people think that all they have to do is take a few herbs and everything will be all right. But, if they will not correct their choice of food that they are consuming every day, then, their health problems will remain. |

Most herbs can be taken throughout pregnancy with no ill effects. Many herbs are helpful especially just before childbirth. The herbs that are helpful are those for nausea, morning sickness and pain. Many herbalists strongly recommend that some herbs should NOT be taken during pregnancy. These herbs are black cohosh, dong quai, Black Cohosh & Licorice Combination (C-X) and other hormonal herbs; also, some of the strong laxative herbs and their combinations.

Children can take herbs with no adverse effects. Obviously, the dosages for the herbs must be reduced since the child is smaller than an adult. A general rule for determining dosage is to calculate the dosage according to the body weight of the child. Pre-school children take approximately one fourth an adult dosage. From age five through ten, one half the adult dosage is sufficient. Early teens take three quarters of the adult dosage. When the growing child reaches adult size (sometimes between the ages of 13 and 20) then full doses can be used. Many herbalists urge that children take nutrient herbs throughout the growing years to help build strong bodies. These nutrient herbs can usually be taken in relatively large amounts with no ill effects whatsoever. The recommended food herbs and nutrition supplements include:
Many herbalists recommend that children take a calcium rich herb combination for growing bodies and bones. The only herbs to be cautious about giving to children are the hormone herbs. Ginseng and black cohosh should not be given to children before they reach puberty. Also, some of the laxative herbs and herb combinations should be used sparingly. Cascara sagrada is one herb that can have a strong laxative effect for children. If in doubt take advice. |
