| Why
should I use Herb rather than modern drugs. |
Modern drugs are
plagued with serious side effects that can do more harm than good.
Many times our doctors will start you on one drug, then you will
get a side effect so they give you another drug to treat that
problem. This drug then causes another problem so you get another
drug. This goes on and on.
Herbal medicine doesn't
work this way. Medicinal herbs tend to be very safe with little
or no side effects. |
|
| I've
read that medicinal herbs don't work! |
| Unfortunately most of
the studies that have been done on medicinal herbs have been funded
by the major drug companies. They want the herbal medicines to fail.
When you read these studies you must read between the lines to get
the true information. |
|
| How
do I find out what herbal formula to use? |
| Read through the herb
resource pages. Also subscribe to our newsletter. If you are unsure
about which herb to use talk to an herbal doctor in your area. |
|
| How
long do herbs last. |
| It is recommended that
raw herbs be kept no more than one year. When an herb is converted
into a tincture the life can be up to 10 years. When made into a
tea the life can be as short as one day. Refrigeration can extend
the life of herbal teas up to several weeks. |
|
| Are
all herbal suppliers the same? |
The quality of herbs
will varied from store to store. A good test of the freshness
of an herb is to smell it. The stronger the scent the fresher
the herb usually is.
Another thing to consider
is price. When you are buying herbs generally the more expensive
the herb is, the better the quality.
Organically grown herbs
are the best. |
