Herbal medicine is the oldest known medicine, also called phytotherapy, which uses various remedies derived from plants and plant extracts to treat disorders and maintain health. This is where modern pharmaceuticals began, and most prescribed drugs are still based on plant constituents.
An herb is a seed bearing plant, a tree, a shrub, an annual, a vine, a fern, moss, algae, lichen or fungi. Herbs are valued for their flavor, fragrance, medicinal and healthful qualities, agricultural and economic importance.
Superbherbs offers a wide variety of both single herbs and herbal formulas.
Herbs are an important part of the culinary arts for flavoring and seasoning our food. The seasoning is what distinguishes a Thai restaurant from an Indian or an Italian restaurant. We now find herbs in our bottled drinks, vitamins, soaps, lotions and shampoo.
Many people seek herbal remedies as a way to gain more control over their own health decisions, coupled with a desire for a more natural lifestyle. Herbs work best when used regularly, even daily. When you take herbs every day, you enjoy a variety of benefits—from creating more energy to calming your nervous system, from improving your memory to preventing disease.
Herbal Medicine is becoming more mainstream as up-to-date analysis and research show their value in the treatment and prevention of disease. Nearly three out of every four adults over age 50 use some kind of alternative medicine, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, according to a new study. This appears to be a higher rate than occurs within the general population.
A survey in the state of Washington reveals that more than 70 percent of adult cancer patients use alternative therapies and almost all report substantial improvements in well-being as a result of using alternative medicine.
Many people find aspects of alternative medicine to be more congruent with their own beliefs about life and health.
Many conventional medicines in use today and nearly all vitamins have herbal origins. Herbs have been used medicinally since early human history; and an emerging body of evidence supports claims of effectiveness for certain conditions, such as elevated cholesterol, enlarged prostate, cold and flu symptoms, constipation and insomnia, to name a few.
A well-designed herbal remedy is much more than a listing of individual ingredients. The synthesis between ingredients is a very large consideration. When separate elements or substances are combined, the whole is a new and higher form. As systems of the body have very definite relationships with each other and cannot be separated, so the relationship between the ingredients in an herbal formulation is of extreme importance. The blend acts differently from the effects of the individual herbs. Herbal Formulas are part of the magic.
Europe is much fonder of single herbs, while other herbal traditions use more herbal combinations. Since we have almost exhausted the European list, we believe that multi-herb formulas will be the wave of the future.
