Do herbs solve health issues?

[jennifer_bloom]

I had an unknown health condition today and my mom had diarrhea so I took 4 medicinal herbal teas and mixed them together and I felt instantly better. I was surprised it worked but now I feel nauseous from taking too much medicine.

Of course they can. Before modern medicine we still treated diseases and other bad conditions. Various herbs were a big part of that.

Doctors of today will also frequently recommend certain diets and alike to aid the process. This is the same as a more herbal aoproach.

But at the end of the day when we compare something in nature with useful qualities or something specifically created with the same useful qualities modern medicine tends to win in near all cases.
This does not mean that herbal remedies are useless or lack potency. In fact at times they may be better. However the majority of times the more progressed a science the better it is, and so if you have any serious problems do turn to the modern medicine instead.

Sometimes. They can interact with medicines though so be aware of what you take

Let me tell something about medicinal chemistry:

1. Natural herbs have similar side effects and adverse effects as allopathic medicines

2. Active constituents in herbs that treat you (make you feel better) are the ones actually used to synthesize allopathic medicines

So in no way you can use natural herbs by mixing them randomly or combining them physically. They can have potential interactions. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Stay safe dear.

It is very important that people do not self-diagnose any health conditions. Any medication (herbal or otherwise) should be taken under the supervision of a knowledgeable and qualified practitioner.

Herbal medicines can be mistakenly thought to be completely safe because they are 'natural' products. This is not always correct

Herbal medicines may produce negative effects that can range from mild to severe, including:

allergic reactions and rashes

asthma

headaches

nausea

vomiting

diarrhoea.

Like other prescription medications, herbal medicine should always be prescribed by a qualified and registered practitioner.

I'm one with natural stuff as a add on but I don't think they can cure anything or do much if you are past a certain point.
