What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine uses leaves, flowers, stems, berries, and roots of plants to prevent, relieve,

and treat illness. From the conventional medical communities perspective herbal treatments

are considered experimental. The reality is, however, that herbal medicine has a long (over

5,000 years) and respected history. Many well known medications developed in the last 100

years were developed from ancient healing traditions that treated health problems with specific

plants. Today, science has isolated the medicinal properties of a large number of botanicals,

and their healing components have been extracted and analyzed. Many plant components

are now synthesized in large laboratories for use in pharmaceutical preparations.

Treatment with Herbs

and Herbal Remedies

The power and potency of healing herbs are very real. Most herbal

emedies

are a specific

blend

of carefully balanced ingredients designed to produce a particular action.

When taking an herbal remedy or supplement, pay close attention to how it makes you feel.

Watch for signs that symptoms are easing. Using herbal treatment requires observation, coupled

with good judgment. Natural herbal formulas are generally well tolerated, even by children.

Most herbs are nontoxic, with few, if any, harmful side effects. However, it is important to know

the actions and possible side effects of an herb before you take it. While not common, some

people may show signs of sensitivity to a particular herb. Reactions can include headache,

an upset stomach, or a rash. If you have a reaction, discontinue use of the herb or herbal

remedy immediately.

If your results are favorable, but the reaction is too intense, either decrease the dosage or

discontinue use of the herb or herbal remedy. For example, say you are constipated and

you take a laxative herbal remedy. If you begin having diarrhea, you have without a doubt

temporarily eliminated your constipation. It’s the right idea, but the reaction is too intense.

Likewise, if you are taking an herbal remedy with expectorant properties and you begin

coughing up large quantities of mucus, you should consider decreasing the dose so

expectoration is manageable.

Herbal remedies are useful for both acute and chronic conditions. They are also useful in

maintaining health and preventing illness. Many of the herbal remedies we offer have the

added benefit of improving immune system function and providing the body with the tools

it needs to fight off recurrent infections. Some are even formulated for this specific purpose

(immune boosters).

Common Herbs and Herbal Formulas

Herbs are available in a variety of forms, including fresh, dried, in tablet or capsules, or bottled

in liquid

form. We specialize in individual or mixed formulas for specific conditions. It is important

to point out

herbal medicines or single herb remedies are only as good as the quality of the raw

herb from which it

was made. This is another good reason to stay with market leaders in this

product category.

As a general rule herbs fall into two categories: wild grown and farm grown. A wild grown herb is one

that grows naturally, without human intervention. As a result of natural selection, plants tend to be

found in places with conditions that optimize their growth. For example, horsetail grows best in moist,

swampy areas, while arnica thrives at high altitudes in alpine meadows. The process of gathering

herbs from their natural habitats is called wildcrafting.

The disadvantage of wild grown herbs is that there is no assurance that the plants haven’t been

exposed to chemicals and pesticides. Herbs harvested from a meadow, for example, may have

been exposed to chemical drift from a crop dusted farm nearby. Exhaust fumes from passing

cars and trucks may have settled invisibly on plants growing near a country road. Water loving

plants, like horsetail, may be rooted in the bank of a polluted stream.

Because of the possibility of contamination, unless you are very sure of the source of wildcrafted

herbs, herbs (and herbal remedies made from them) which are grown commercially may be your

best and safest alternative. Wildcrafted herbs also have greater variability in terms of the active

ingredients they contain than cultivated plants do. This variability makes it more difficult to

guarantee the consistency of the end product.

Forms of Herbal Remedies

Herbal formulas come in a number of different forms. You will find

any

of these forms mixed

through our site.

Capsules and Tablets

By far, our largest product selection comes in tablet or capsule form. In most cases the capsules

are all natural as well. Capsules and tablets contain a ground or powdered form of raw herbs. They

are easy and convenient to use, and most people prefer them. In general, there seems to be little

difference between the two in terms of clinical results. Because finely milled herbs degrade quickly,

it is important that herbs be freshly ground and then promptly encapsulated or pressed into tablets,

within 24 hours of being powered.

Tinctures

Most of our tinctures are provided by Native Remedies. If the label says tincture, the preparation

contains alcohol. In a tincture, alcohol is employed to extract and concentrate the active properties

of the herb. Alcohol is also a very effective natural preservative. Because tinctures are easily

assimilated by the body, this can be a very effective way to administer herbal remedies. Tinctures

are concentrated and cost effective. However, the full taste of the herb comes through very strongly

in a tincture. Some people may find the taste of some herbs unpleasant. Goldenseal, for example,

is bitter tasting. Most herbal tinctures can be mixed with orange juice or other liquids to minimize or

even eliminate the strong taste.

Another concern when using tinctures is the presence of alcohol. If you would like to lessen the

amount of alcohol in a tincture, mix the appropriate dose with one quarter cup of very hot water (just

short of boiling). After about 5 minutes most of the alcohol will have evaporated.

Extracts

Extracts can be made with alcohol, like tinctures, or the essence of the herb can be leached out

with

water. When purchasing a liquid extract of an herb, the only way to be certain of the extraction

process

(alcohol or water) is to read the label. Extract provide many of the same advantages and

disadvantages that tinctures do. They are concentrated and therefore cost effective, and they are

easy to administer, but they have a strong herbal taste.

Ointments, Salves, and Rubs

We do offer a number of these products. Their uses vary from treating common skin

conditions

(

acne

spot treatments

) to products that speed healing or help with muscle

pains and strains

(

natural joint and muscle health page

)

Teas

From time to time we do carry certain teas. But currently we have no tea based remedies in our

product line.

There are many tasty blends of herbal teas

(and some not so tasty)

on the shelves of your

local super market or health food

store. They are formulated to address a number of conditions

such as sleeping, digestion and mental

awareness. While wildly popular one of the drawbacks is

that teas deliver inconsistent doses, so they

should not be the primary form of treatment for a

specific health concern.

Lozenges

Herbal based, nutrient rich, naturally sweetened lozenges are readily available in most

stores.

You’ll

find cold fighting formulas, natural cough suppressants, some with decongestant

properties. Most are

enriched with vitamin C. Some recent research suggests that the amount

of herbs, vitamins or

minerals provided is very small. So be sure to check the label for quantity

of ingredients.
