More Popular than Ever
Herbal medicines have seen an increase in popularity since many people have become more health conscious. Others are mistrustful of the health industry, so they are taking their health into their own hands. If you’re smart about your herbal medicines and how you use them, some believe you can be a much healthier person.
This infographic sets out to help you learn about herbal remedies.
A Pantheon of Herbs
St. John’s Wort is reported to help sooth low mood and mild anxiety, while Valerian root may help alleviate anxiety-related sleep problems, as long as they are mild. Passion Flower may help with mild anxiety and stress for a person with a nervous disposition, while Rhodiola may relieve anxiety, exhaustion, fatigue and stress in someone who is really stressed out from work or burned out.
Feverfew may help with migraine headaches, and Echinacea is reported to be good for colds and flu. Pelargonium may help with the coughs, runny nose, blocked nose, and sore throat associated with upper respiratory infections and the common cold.
Agnus Castus may relieve PMS symptoms like irritability, breast tenderness, cramps, bloating, and mood swings. Milk thistle may help with indigestion, an over-full stomach, nausea, and other digestive complaints. Black cohosh may help with menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats. Saw palmetto may help control the frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete sensation associated with an enlarged prostate.
Finally, Devil’s claw, despite its foreboding name, may soothe joint aches and pains, backache, muscle aches, and even rheumatic pain.
Some Statistics
An herbal remedy must be documented for use with a specific symptom for 30 years, while it only must be used for 15 years in the European Union.
Price Differences
Scientific trials cost a lot of money, which means that the herbs are more expensive than they used to be. It is worth it, however, because it means the product has been tested and contains helpful consumer information.
Note: Any herbal product that is not classified as “culinary” and does not hold a THR logo is not on the up and up. It is either illegal or “end of the line” stock.
Culinary Herbs
Garlic, sage, turmeric, and artichoke all have amazing health benefits, but are classified as culinary, and therefore are subject to different legal regulations.
