Yes herbal treatment is very good. There is a place for both herbal treatment and regular mainstream medicine. It just depends on what you are treating and how severe the case it.

Herbal treatment may be a bit slower than conventional treatment but you avoid those often dreadful side effects that often cause new and further health problems.

Sometimes or even often you may need a combination of herbal treatments to get the same result that you can get with a single doctor's prescription.

The side effects from conventional treatment is a protest by the body against the prescription medicine that the body rejects. Sometimes the side effects are as bad or even worse than the actual medical problem that is being treated and the side effects cause new and further health problems.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbal contain a mix of phytochemicals that act on the body as well as vital nutrients which help to nourish the body.

It is untrue that herbals have no side effects. Some, like foxglove, are very potent and must be used with great care. However most herbals are generally less toxic than pharmaceuticals and can actually provide greater long-term benefit.

I have found that I have changed my diet and using natural supplements. I have never felt better. I use an Oxygen based colon cleanser called Oxy-Powder. I have also stopped drinking sodas and drinking water instead. I know most people might find it hard to believe that if starting treat your body as nature had intend, you will find that you feel more energy than you could ever imagine.When you are taking herbal supplements, you should do your research. You want to make sure that you take high-quality supplements. The way that you can distinguish between high-quality supplements and low quality supplements is the quality of the ingredients. High quality supplements do not contain additives,preservatives and other fillers. When you look at the label preservatives and additives will be listed on other ingredients.

yes , my dear friend. the herbals produce less sideeffects compared with other medicines, and they usually heal your illness well ,though it may take you a litthle more time to recover.
take one of my friends for example, she is from Canada, once she got a really serious upset-stomach after she came back from a trip in China , she and her bf tried any medicine they could came up with , but failed each time, however , when she accidently tried the Chinese herbal for the first time, all the illness just tailed away soon.
one more thing: maybe not everyone can be healed via herbal. but it is still worth trying.

Herbalism is a traditional medicinal or folk medicine practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Herbalism is also known as botanical medicine, medicinal botany[1], medical herbalism, herbal medicine, herbology, botanical medicine and phytotherapy. Sometimes the scope of herbal medicine is extended to include fungi and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts.

Many plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and other animals. These include aromatic substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives such as tannins. Many are secondary metabolites, of which at least 12,000 have been isolated — a number estimated to be less than 10% of the total. In many cases, these substances (particularly the alkaloids) serve as plant defense mechanisms against predation by microorganisms, insects, and herbivores. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food yield useful medicinal compounds.

Ayurveda (Devanagari: आयुर्वेद ) or Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient system of health care that is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is presently in daily use by millions of people in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and indirectly through it being the major influence on Unani, Chinese and Tibetan Medicine, in China, Tibet, and Pakistan too. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of the word āyus meaning "life" or "life principle", and the word veda, which refers to a system of "knowledge". Thus "Ayurveda" roughly translates as the "knowledge of life". According to Charaka Samhita, "life" itself is defined as the "combination of the body, sense organs, mind and soul, the factor responsible for preventing decay and death, which sustains the body over time, and guides the processes of rebirth" [1][2] According to this perspective, Ayurveda is concerned with measures to protect "ayus", which includes healthy living along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine to contain a sophisticated system of surgery (which is referred to as "salya-chikitsa").

According to the Ayurvedavatarana (the "descent of Ayurveda"), the origin of Ayurveda is stated to be a divine revelation of the ancient Indian creator God Lord Brahma[3] as he awoke to recreate the universe. This knowledge was passed directly to Daksha Prajapati in the form of shloka sung by Lord Brahma.[4], and this was in turn passed down through a successive chain of deities to Lord Indra, the protector of dharma. According to this account, the first human exponent of Ayurveda was Bharadvaja, who learned it directly from Indra. Bharadvaja in turn taught Ayurveda to a group of assembled sages, who then passed down different aspects of this knowledge to their students. According to tradition, Ayurveda was first described in text form by Agnivesha, in his book the Agnivesh tantra. The book was later redacted by Charaka, and became known as the Charaka Samhitā.[5] Another early text of Ayurveda is the Sushruta Samhitā, which was compiled by Sushrut, the primary pupil of Dhanvantri, sometime around 1000 BC. Dhanvantri is known as the Father of Surgery, and in the Sushrut Samhita, the teachings and surgical techniques of Dhanvantri are compiled and complemented with additional findings and observations of Sushrut regarding topics ranging from obstetrics and orthopedics to ophthalmology. Sushrut Samhita together with Charaka Samhitā, served as the textual material within the ancient Universities of Takshashila and Nalanda.[6] These texts are believed to have been written around the beginning of the Common Era, and is based on a holistic approach rooted in the philosophy of the Vedas and Vedic culture.
