What are your perceptions on Herbal remedies?

Question

I would like to herar your 'Perceptions' i dont need info about what they are or what they do. Thanks

Answer 1

first, this world isn't all bad. the FDA doesn't even regulate herbals, so how can they suppress them? they should regulate them though since there are many non-reputable herbal companies that put out inneffective products, or their product has such variable potency you don't even know what you are getting. there are good companies out there though. i think some herbals are good, some are bad. always be aware of drug interactions though, a popular herbal St. Johns wort is used commonly for depression, but it renders some medications useless (like statins for cholesterol like lipitor and zocor) and it can block the metabolism of other medications, so your body gets more than it needs. always talk with a doctor and pharmacist before you start anything. and any substance that you put into your body that is not there to begin with is called a "drug". In other words, just because it is herbal doesn't mean it is good for you.

Answer 2

I think herbal remedies are a very natural way to beat certain ailments such as nausea. I am on birth control and sometimes I get very nauseous, ask my husband, and I have some remedies that work most of the time. I always go for the herbal stuff before I go to a doctor. I am finding it more relaxing and less stressful depending on my knowledge of herbs to make me and my loved ones healthy. I don't trust doctors and I will only go to them if I can't beat whatever is causing my ailment.

To me this field is where medicine should be heading, The problem is that you need to find a good alternative medicine doctor to prescribe the combinations of the various herbs that you take. Just like over the counter medicines and prescription medicines some drug interactions can be bad for you. Some, when taken together, render one or both of the remedies ineffective, i. e. iron and Vitamin E. But this is a fantastic field! We need to all rally together to fight for legislation against the FDA and FTC who hold back and silence any new discoveries in this field because it will interfere with the profits earned by the drug companies treatments for the corresponding illness. THEY NEVER LOOK FOR CURES, JUST MORE AND MORE TREATMENTS THAT CAUSE MORE AND MORE DISEASES. An interesting website, and there are many, is The People's Pharmacy. Lot's of very simple, around, the house items, that can be used to treat and cure medical problems. Another book that I read recently is Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau. Mr. Trudeau can be rather strange in some areas according to my thinking, but he has some very valid points and ideas for maintaining your optimum health level. One tip is just to go down to the bookstore and buy the book, don't order it "free" from him, as in my opinion, his marketing techniques are brutal and might wind up costing you a pretty penny if you bite. As with anything, be cautious, and if you continue to hear of an idea over and over again through many sources, then check it out. God Bless You as you begin your journey to good health!

Answer 4

I use them for everything.

I don't understand why there's so much hate in this category... almost any time anyone posts that they've had success with herbal remedies, they're innundated with thumbs-downs.

Isn't there logic in the statement that we're very dependent on our planet to sustain life? Without the sun, the air, and the water, we'd die. To an extent, these things can be synthesized, but they can't ever entirely be substituted.

So, why is it so illogical to think that the very planet that sustains our every breath just might be able to offer us healing in the form of its botanicals? To me, it makes perfect sense.

While prescription medicine certainly has its place in our society (even I'll admit that herbal remedies are useless for sudden, acute conditions like a heart attack, or life-threatening injuries sustained from an auto accident or gunshot wound), I don't believe that it's necessary to use synthetic drugs for every little scrape, cough or sniffle.

In my experience, herbal remedies have won out every time, acting faster and with less side effects than any prescription I've ever been on. I'll stick with them until they fail me, in which case I'll be happy to admit that I was wrong. But until that happens... give me herbal supplements any day.
