Herb Remedies
Herb remedies can be counted by the hundreds. Cultures of all times have developed their own treatments and treasure their own particular herbs. Before recorded history was even invented, plants and herbs were used for medicine.
Diseases have been studied, herbs have been the main fighters against illness for thousands of years. Herbs are so effective because they don't have one "active" ingredient as conventional medicine does, herbs have many ingredients that act together, combine and fill the whole body with a cascade of benefits. One thing science seldom accepts, is that although the pill is based on the effectiveness of an active ingredient found in a plant, the use of that pill was never the same as the results of the herb when compared. Nevertheless, pills took over and are deficient, with clumsy side effects herbs seldom produce.
The main difference in herb remedies and traditional medicine is that science will disappear the rash produced by poisoning, while herbal remedies concentrate on taking the poisonous chemical out of the body. At first glance, the rash will disappear and the user will think the pill has done great good. The rash will not disappear as quickly with herb remedies, but the plant has cleaned the body of the poison and natural healing will step in to take care of the rash. It will not be as hasty, but the objective is a much wiser one, herbal remedies attack the illness, not it's effects. Science usually will concentrate on disappearing the effects.
