Herbs and Botanicals
Herbal supplements are considered to have medicinal value and have been used for centuries in many cultures around the world for healing purposes. Traditional medicine has consistently used herbal remedies to treat disease, and to promote good health and vitality. Botanical plants, of which herbs are derived, are plants or portions of a plant that are used for their therapeutic properties, scents or flavors. These dietary supplements are known to provide symptomatic relief and numerous additional health benefits. Herbs and other botanicals became the basis of many practices of modern medicine, and herbal treatments are still used by a vast majority of people today.
Botanicals are frequently used in the forms of teas, liquid or solid extracts, powders, tablets or capsules as well as fresh and dried products. These remedies are created from roots, stems, leaves, seeds, fruit or flowers from plants and are used to help treat many health conditions. A doctor may recommend the use of herbal medicine in addition to synthetic, conventional drugs. This is called ‘complementary therapy,’ because the two medicines work together to further benefit the patient.
Herbal treatments are often known to have more than one active ingredient, meaning they usually treat more than one condition or problem simultaneously. These natural herbs may provide energy and nourishment, in turn supporting healing and overall good health.
