Get The Most Out of Herbs
Anti-aging, smoking cessation, acne and many, many other conditions are also treated with natural herbal remedies from compounded plants/herbs. There is an herb for nearly everything so, get to know your herbs and spices and they can start working for you in amazing ways. The herbs and spices listed above are just the basic, everyday herb that is easily accessible for many. They are powerful, yet hardly ever used for their healing, treatment and prevention properties. Many common herbs and spices are overlooked and/or underused, so the large amount of healing qualities associated are as well.
You're A Healer
As a result, a lot of people seek non-beneficial ways of healing, treatment and prevention. Yet, your kitchen already stores immune boosters, cancer fighters, bacteria and virus blasters and cardiovascular, cholesterol and blood sugar supporters. Granted, there are only 5 singular herbs listed here! And these are not all of their qualities. Imagine combining these herbs/spices. Then, imagine using them in different ways, getting more complex with others, and even creating your own blend with the abundance of herbs, information from even more research. And, of course, your great ability as your own healer!
Finally, these herbal products can be combined and/or used with other natural ingredients, products or herbs to target particular conditions. Natural, does not always equate to safe. There may be unwanted side effects just as with conventional medicines. However, alternative medicine has served a massive part of the world’s population. The healing practice has used herbals, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for decades. Evidently, from research, with more than satisfactory results and no adverse effects. Research is paramount. Know your allergies, limits and side effects of anything that you consume or plan to consume or use. Some side effects, quantity limits, allergies, etc. you may already know. Otherwise and when in doubt, consult your physician; and RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH! Do your due diligence.
