Herbal Medicine is the use of remedies made from plants in the treatment of disease. It involves the use of any or all of the different parts of plants (roots, leaves, stems and seeds) to treat illnesses and maintain wellness. Herbs include some of the most powerful medicines known on earth, and are available without a prescription. These super medicines are one of nature’s perfect cures.
Herbs have been used to treat everything from arthritis to cancer, heart disease and obesity, asthma and ulcers. There have been an overwhelming number of satisfied users to discount the effectiveness of herbs.
Herbs have played a vital role in the development of humanity. References to herbal cures have been found in early hieroglyphic texts of the Egyptians and in the Hindu texts called the Vedas from India. Herbs contain many powerful ingredients that if used correctly can help the body to heal itself. Herbs are a wonderful natural alternative to many health issues.
Herbs are gentle remedies that have a mild, yet profound affect on the body. Unlike prescription medicines, which suppress symptoms, herbs work to restore balance to the body. Herbs work to tone the body’s organs and glands, to supply the body with vitamins and nutrients and help the body to relieve itself of toxic accumulations. This makes the body strong and allows our natural internal healing processes to begin. They help us to ignite our own internal healing fires.
Herbs address every kind of imbalance. In the Bible, God teaches us about the power of herbal healing.
In Genesis 1:29…”Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth to you it shall be for meat.”
In Psalms 104:14…” He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.”
In Hebrews 6:7…”For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God.”
In Psalms 51:7…”Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” (Hyssop is a healing herb that has anti-viral properties).
Over 80% of the world’s population rely on the medicinal qualities of plants to treat illness and herbal medicine is the oldest form of medical treatment known. Herbal medicines can be given in a variety of forms, such as liquids, infusions, tablets, creams and ointments.
