Herbs have been used for healing since ancient cultures.
In Past cultures herbs were selected first for their color, odor, shape, or singularity. The application of a herb or a herbal mixture to a particular condition has been the result of trial-end-error experimentation during several generations.

It was until the last century that the advances in chemistry, technology and pharmacology that make possible the synthesis of many of herbs used in medicine. A large percentage of modern pharmaceuticals are derived from some part of plants.

In recent years we have seen an explosion of interest in herbal medicine, among the general public and the medical profession. For instance, the results of clinical studies have proved beyond doubt that Ginkgo biloba has an important role to play in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Although herbs have been used for long time it is crucial that practitioners and patients understand when certain herbs should not be used at therapeutic dosage in certain conditions such as pregnancy, in some health conditions, or in combination with specific pharmaceutical drugs. For your safety it is important that you consult your health care practitioner before taking herbal medicine.

If you would like to find out which herbs you should be taken you can make an appointment for a Naturopathic consultation.
