Find the Best Herbal Medicine that's Best for You

Most of the widely used herbal remedies today have been known and used for hundreds or even thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurveda), and other eastern cultures. So there must be a good reason that this practice has survived for so long.

In fact, consumers in the west spend billions of dollars each year on herbal supplements, and although the benefits of most supplements are highly questionable, many consumers swear that they do actually work.

Because most herbal remedies have not been extensively clinically studied, their claimed benefits originate from anecdotal evidence, that is personal experiences that vary from one individual to another.

Although herbal medicine uses natural substances, like plant extracts, that does not necessarily mean it is always safe. What is generally true is that herbal medicine is safer and more tolerated than chemical drugs.

Side effects are rare and insignificant with most herbal products, but some may have considerable side effects. Consuming excessive amounts of certain herbs or their extracts may lead to serious health risks. Interaction between different herbal/natural supplements and other drugs is also possible.
