Herbs and spices have been widely valued for centuries, both for their healing properties and their flavour. Modern research has found evidence for numerous health benefits.
Herbal medicine has been used as a reputable method of healing for aeons. Or, at least over 60,000 years based on archaeological evidence. Today, the World Health Organisation states that three quarters of the world’s population use herbs for basic healthcare. While it sits within the complementary medicine category, it is very much intrinsically tied to achieving optimal overall well-being, healing and holistic preventative action. The run on effect of these benefits can be life changing when used properly. Here are the major benefits of using herbal medicine.
Natural healing
Herbs are a completely natural approach to prevention, healing and health support. Used in the right dosage, individually prescribed for your needs, they are a safe and effective way of, in some instances, opting away from or helping to support pharmacy medications. When used properly there are very few, if any, downsides to including herbal medicines in your holistic health habits.
