2. Holistic Approach: Herbal therapy takes into account the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just targeting symptoms. This holistic approach can lead to improved overall well-being.
3. Diverse Applications: Herbal therapy can address a WIDE range of conditions, including stress, energy, digestive issues, inflammation, and skin problems, and of course infection. Again, most of the herbs solve more than one problem.
4. Antimicrobial Benefits: This is perhaps the most important aspect of
Herbal therapy. We actually have very few antiviral medications on the market (many less that antibiotics which target bacteria) and they are not as effective as they used to be. Many of the herbs are extremely good antivirals, especially in combination with each other. It is less likely a virus can become "resistant" to the multitude of compounds offered by combining a few herbs, versus one manufactured compound in a prescription pill. And this same principle applies to antibiotics, which target bacterial infections. We have not been creating many new antibiotics over the last couple of decades and the ones we do have are MUCH less effective, due to bacterial resistance.
ConclusionInterest in natural remedies has skyrocketed (especially since Covid has become a part of our landscape). It is logical and practical to consider
Herbal therapy as a complementary approach to modern medicine.
