ADVANTAGES OF HERBAL PRODUCTS

Posted: Saturday, May 30, 2009 2:27:10 AM
Nowadays millions of natural and herbal health products are on the markets today. Maybe it was because we became suddenly concerned to our health.
There are two advantages of natural and herbal products:
1. Cost - Herbs are cheaper than drugs. They are certainly much more convenient. Natural does not necessarily mean safe for you. Many natural substances can be harmful. However, it is also important to note that medicines are not categorized as drugs.
2. Effectiveness and Potency - Reasons for seeking alternative treatments include dissatisfaction with traditional healthcare, although the efficacy of herbal medicines is mostly subjective to the patient. Potency may vary, depending on genetic variation of different strains of herbs, growing conditions, timing and method of harvesting, exposure to air, light and moisture over time and type of preservation.

Herbal products may be better than general cosmetic drugs but that doesn't mean you can use them all blatantly. There are certain herbal ingredients that may be not suitable for all people. So, it still has to be used cautiously.
