3/24/2008 6:02:46 AM I strongly believe in herbal medicines they saved me from pile and wounds

3/24/2008 1:06:22 PM Yes,I believe in herbal medicines very much. Long before there was the type of medicine there is now, grandmothers, Native American tribes and other indigenous peoples used herbal medicines to cure headaches, toothaches and other body problems. We are losing our rain forests at a great rate which may contain some of the best medicines for some of the more heineous diseases we have now. I believe herbal medicine can interact with traditional medicine and probably go a long way towards keeping the body healthy and then we won't need so many pharmaceuticals

3/26/2008 1:14:51 AM Yes I sincerely believe on Herbal medicines.

Herbal medicine is also called Botanical medicine. Herbal medicine is prepared by using seeds, roots, berries, leaves, bark, or flowers. Many typical conditions of illness like Asthma, Eczema, Premenstrual syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, Migraine, Menopausal symptoms, Chronic fatigue, Irritable bowel syndrome etc. have been cured by Herbal medicines.
I personally believe in using Herbal medicines as I had Asthma and I used to be very much upset with Inhaler and other regular medicines. I started taking herbal medicine and did some Yoga. Now since one year I am not taking even herbal medicine as I am fully cured of Asthma. The only precaution required to be taken with Herbal medicine is to follow some rules strictly and you are alright for ever almost in most diseases. Herbal medicines have no side effects but it must be taken under the guidance of a Herbalists or Doctor.

3/27/2008 4:48:23 PM Of course I believe in it.
Herbal medicine has been around for, well since the beginning of time. Ancient Egyptians used the bark of the white birch for pain relief, we still use it today. The only difference is that modern medicine found what compound in the white birch relieved pain and then copied it. Man would not be where he is today, if he had to wait for modern medicine to be invented (after all it is less than 200 years old), holistic medicines got him all the way to almost present day, and if you look at how long man has been on planet earth it is apparent that herbal medicine has carried much more weight than modern medicine.

3/27/2008 11:38:59 PM I believe in herbal medicine, it has been used for thousands of years, and in fact, it is the origin of the medicine we know nowdays.
Plus, i've been using aloe vera for small injuries and cuts, they heal extremely fast and you can forget about the scars!!!

3/28/2008 6:50:03 AM Herbal medicine is fine for things like skin and hair, but I think that actual medical problems need actual medical doctors. My Grandmother-in-law is into a lot of herbal remedies for all sorts of things but so far nothing she has told me to take for my thyroid condition has worked.

3/28/2008 6:53:11 AM I firmly beleive in herbal medicine. I am from India were the practise of Herbal Medicine is done by qualifed doctors who are called Ayurvedic/Unani/ Siddha practioners. Herbal medicine tries to cure the ailments in a natural way. The body is made to react to the medicine on its own where the chemicals are avoided. Plants and herb extracts are used which attack the rot of the problem. Allopath treat based on symptoms. Though results are slow relapse of the problem again is very less. For Liver ailments, allopath also use herb based medicines like liver 50

8/21/2008 4:43:17 AM Yes, I believe in herbal medicines. For curing common problems or illness, herbs are very useful. Sometimes they work better than allopathic medicines. Ancient people generally used leaves, oils or barks to cure painful toothaches, bruises and wounds. Plants have medicinal qualities and Ayurveda in India recognized that and used different herbs in there holistic healing process. Even Rome and China follows and uses herbal medicines to treat illnesses.
For diabetes- Salacia oblonga is used in Sri Lanka and India, it reduces insulin and blood glucose levels in the body. Again, Berberine that is bitter in taste enables to lower glucose levels. It is a Chinese herbal remedy for type 2 diabetes as well as diarrhea. It is found in golden seal, orange, grape and barberry.
Lavender oil and olive or sunflower oil with blue chamomile is best for high blood pressure. This mixture of oil when messaged regulates blood pressure and helps to reduce stress. Green tea controls growth of breast cancer, lemon grass lowers cholesterol, German chamomile, Valerian root, peppermint oil, black cumin, magnolia etc are few valuable herbs that are most used.
In case of depression, acne, asthma, arthritis, heart disease, insomnia, nervous disorder, colds, colitis, obesity and ulcers herbal medicine are used. Herbal medicine can cure many diseases and now the world is recognizing its benefits.

11/17/2008 7:01:40 PM Yes, I believe in herbal medicines. I've been into herbal supplements all my life and it has been very helpful to my health. I dont really like OTC or synthetic medications because it doesn't really help me with my health issues. It just gives us temporary relief and before you know it, you're broke without getting any help from those medicines. And just like any other medicine or supplement, if we don't take it religiously and properly, it wouldn't give us any health benefit. Hopefully, people will be open-minded and see the effectivity of herbal medicines or supplements.
