Prescription Medications or Herbals?

Herbs are plants and natural substances that help correct the body’s imbalances and alleviate sickness. Did you know that 40% percent of prescription drugs are derived from herbs (plants), but the healing difference between herbal and drugs is this:

Lets start with the pharmaceutical drugs used today, which are isolates. That is to say they make a drug to be concentrated for a single action, making it toxic for the body.

These patented drugs do what they are intended to do but at the expense of the rest of the body. In most cases, side effects are worse then what your symptom was before.

Nature created plants, they have been here since the beginning of time and have been used for centuries by our ancestor’s. Plants have kept us healthy forever.

Using herbs is our way of keeping our body’s in balance, they are all-natural and our body seems to respond to the components in them.

Our body lets us know right away if something is wrong with us. We just have to pay attention to it, but when we are feeling sick we are so used to reaching out for that fast fix, when in reality, you are just dulling the symptom and not fixing it.

Today, in this somewhat busy world we live in, times have changed dramatically. We are in a hurry to feel good and instead of getting your herbal fix to feel better or to even stay healthier, we reach out for the synthetics.

Yes, there is a place for both drugs and herbs. There are pharmaceuticals that are good when you need them to work instantly. Prescription medications have saved many lives, but when it comes to some chronic conditions that have not been helped by drugs, then that is when herbals come in.

Herbs, plants, flowers, and minerals are natural components that help the body heal. Your body may not heal you instantly, but with time it will heal you permanently because it goes to the source of the problem. Natural alternatives do not cover up the symptom.

Herbs are well suited for this task with their great natural properties.

You should always go to a licensed herbalist to get the herbs you need for any chronic symptom you may have.

Never try healing yourself. Always find an herbalist that has been doing this for many years. A licensed herbalist or certified natural alternative specialist, has the experience and knowledge they have from being around the herbs. These professionals are very unique in knowing what to use and what is the best potency for you to have.

They are like a doctor, knowing just what to give you to heal you, not just mask the symptom, but use the right herb to heal and get rid of what is making you sick.

Many people are starting to come back to natural herbs for healing, saying that the “prescription drugs have too many side effects”.

Finding the right herbalist is very essential. They are like a chemist, adding a little of this and a little of that to come up with the right combination to get the right dose for you to take, only it is all done with the natural herb that our body’s respond best to, not some chemical concoction that will cause you more harm than good in the long run.
