Home Healing with Herbs:

Before the relatively modern age of drugs controlled and marketed by pharmaceutical conglomerates, we relied solely on plants to treat ourselves. There are very distinct advantages to using herbs whenever possible instead of commercial drugs. The pharmaceutical companies extract what they believe to be the "active ingredient" and isolate it, and mix it with synthetic substances. This can lead to a very powerful drug, but one that is not balanced, and often produces many unwanted side effects. By using herbs, you are taking in the whole synergy of complex chemical components, exactly as they occur together in nature. The average testing time for a new drug is a only a few years, and then only on small populations of patients. Many of the healing plants that we use today have been used for centuries.
