ALL ABOUT HERBS
I have an earache...
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
100 A.D. - That root is heathen.
Here say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition.
Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil.
Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective.
Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial.
Here, eat this root and say a prayer.
After reading the above, it occured to me that perhaps we have come full circle. Maybe it is time to consider natural forms of healing and combine them with the power of prayer. This isn't meant to say that traditional methods of treatments used by doctors aren't to be considered. I believe that each person has to determine what is best for themselves and often times a combination of treatments is the most effective. In addition to perscription medication that I take for my arthritis, I have also started taking herbal and vitamen mineral supplements. I have taken vitamens in the past, but I have not had much experience with herbs until recently. I am fortunate to have a trained Herbalist working with me and helping me find which herbs are best for me. Therefore, I would suggest finding out as much information as you can about herbs before starting to take them. I have come to realize that not all herbs are of good quality. It is important to know where your herbs are coming from. I feel really comfortable recommending Nature's Sunshine Herbs and I feel that they are of the highest quality. I will include a link to their site in case you would like to know more about them. I will also include a link with guidelines that were given to me by my Herbalist on how to use herbal supplements. I hope that you will want to consider taking this natural approach to better health. I know that I am happy to be learning about herbs and all that they can offer us. Before you reach the end of my first page on herbs, I would like to pass along the following words that were given to me by my Herbalist. When it comes to taking herbs, I can't think of recommending a better approach than suggesting the following prayer to you.
God grant me the knowledge to know what to do. To know when to handle a situation with herbs and natural therapies, the humility to realize when I need help from a doctor and his medicine, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.
