Herbs & Herbalism

For over 5000 years herbs have played a vital role in HealthCare and well-being. Much of Chinese medicine, even today, is based on herbs and herbalism. Modern (or Western) herbalism stems from a variety of sources. American folklore and tradition have played a major role.


 

Today, almost all drugs and over-the-counter remedies rely on herbalism in some way. Many treatments are synthetic-compounds of naturally occurring substances. (Drug companies are always striving to duplicate nature!)

Herbs are used to provide the body with the ideal environment to promote health and self-healing. Some herbs may be taken on a daily basis for overall good health; while others are added in times of poor health to strengthen a body system.
