Health Benefits of 15 Common Herbs and The Healing Power of Nature

Take a look into your medicine cabinet? What do you see?  Do you see little containers or blister packs filled with pills of varying sizes and colors?  Can you find pills for your allergies, headaches, heartburn or to help you sleep? Our society has become accustom to taking pill after pill for any minor ailment.

Medicine in History

If we look back throughout history, medicinal herbs or herbal medicine was an integral part of healing. Over 2400 years ago, Hippocrates was the first to practice “the healing power of nature”. He is known as the founder of medicine and he believed in rest, a good diet, fresh air, and cleanliness.

 Once upon a time, going to the pharmacist meant receiving a special elixir comprised of special herbs or spices that were blended by the pharmacist to address your specific ailment.

However, over time, with the advancement of technology and rise of industrial pharmaceuticals, natural medicine fell to the wayside. Pills and surgeries became commonplace and the accepted forms of treatment.

However, in the early 1900s, naturopathic medicine enjoyed much growth and acceptance. Naturopathic medicine uses the principles of the healing power of the body using a holistic approach including examination of what we eat and drink as ways to heal the body. The notion of natural alternatives to medicine received renewed attention

What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbs used in teas or spices used in cooking, can strengthen your immune system, provide significant amounts of essential vitamins, and address various ailment.

Coupling a balanced organic diet with the use of organic spices is a healthy way of creating change in the body.  And guess what? They taste good too! Take a look below at the most notable herbs that can help you feel better!

I live in Austria and I invested the sum of $ 78,400 in Bitcoin with CoinFlip, a cryptocurrency company I met online. My initial investment increased from $ 78,400 to $ 152,700 after a week. This felt so good as the investment grew swiftly in just a few weeks. When it was time to retire, my withdrawal request was denied, all effort to make withdrawal declined, then I realized I had been ripped off. All thanks to MONEYRECOVERY001 at SOLUTION4U dot COM for recovering my money back.

I got scammed 2 months ago by a broker I met online while I was surfing the internet . I invested $30,000 and hoped to have at least 70% profit but didn’t get any.
