Warning: Herbal Remedies Have Health Benefits

Copyright 2006 Wayne Mc

Most of us want fast results when we are sick and

miserable. Typically people buy non-prescription drugs over

the counter because they don’t know there are other

treatments available. For many health conditions using

herbal remedies derived from plants is a healthy

alternative. It is best to plan ahead and learn which

herbal remedies may work for a specific health condition.

The following list of common herbs is an example of

possible health benefits for treating some ailments. Herbal

remedies are prepared in many forms such as teas, herbal

extracts (tinctures), capsules or loose/dried in a bag.

Chamomile

This herb is popular as a tea and can calm nerves, relieve

stomach distress, prevent ulcers, and help fight infection.

Chamomile may be used to relieve morning sickness during

pregnancy, to treat gastritis and ulcerative colitis, and

may be used to speed healing of skin ulcers, wounds, or

burns.

Dong Quia

Dong quai has been used in Asia for thousands of years as a

tonic for the female reproductive system. It also balances

and strengthens the female organs and regulates their

functions.

Feverfew

Several studies confirm feverfew's value in preventing

migraines. Feverfew may be used as an anti-inflammatory for

relief of arthritis, to relieve some types of menstrual

problems, and as a digestive aid.

Garlic

More than 1,000 scientific studies have shown health

benefits of garlic. Garlic has been used as protection

against colds and flu. In addition, garlic may help lower

cholesterol, prevent blood clots, reduce blood pressure and

protect against bacterial and fungal infections. Studies

have shown that garlic may have a positive role in the

prevention of coronary heart disease, thrombosis and

arteriosclerosis.

Ginger

Ginger has been used for centuries to control nausea and

for reducing inflammation.

Goldenseal

Goldenseal is found in popular herbal blends for relieving

intestinal and gallbladder inflammation. It also has been

used to soothe inflamed or infected mucous membranes.

Goldenseal may be used to reduce colds, flu and other

respiratory infections especially at the beginning of

infection. Goldenseal has both anti-infective and

immune-system stimulating properties that may shorten the

course of the illness.

Licorice

Licorice is an important herb for treating a host of

ailments. It may help as an anti-inflammatory and to soothe

stomach upset and control coughs. Licorice Root has

properties similar to cortisone and estrogen. It stimulates

the adrenal glands and may help the body cope with stress.

Peppermint

Peppermint oil calms the stomach, the intestinal tract, and

the nervous system. It can also reduce the inflammation of

nasal passages and relieve muscle pains.

SAFETY

Herbal remedies may be safer and have fewer side effects

than prescription medicines. Always read the label and use

only the recommended dosage. Do not take any herbs during

pregnancy --- check with your doctor first. If you are

currently taking any prescription medicines always check

with your doctor before using herbal remedies or before

starting any health supplement program.

Herbs are a healthy alternative for treating many health

conditions. Read and save articles like this in a small

notebook and create your own research library with health

benefits of each herb. There are many resources available

online that outline specific health conditions and

recommend herbs.

Herbs can be purchased online or at local health food

stores. In addition, for treating specific health

conditions, you may want to work with a naturopath or an

acupuncturist.
