What is the herb uses?

Answer 1

Herbs can be used in a variety of manners. Historically, herbs have filled many purposes including uses in cooking, medicine, and even for spiritual reasons. First find out what the need is for (example: food, medicinal formula...so on) then you find out what herbs will help fill that need.

Example: A tea made from the roots of Couch Grass is useful for treating urinary infections because of the herb's broad antibiotic, and diuretic properties. Couch grass tea will also soothe and coat an inflamed throat, and helps clear phlegm. Couch grass has been used in herbal medicine since classical Greek times.

Take warning though before using any herb as a treatment of any kind. Many people have Allergies or sensitivities; every body is different and reacts different to many things (shoot, I have a friend allergic to grass). The problem is not with the use of herbs (ingested, inhaled, or topically); it is the lack of knowledge on how to use them (individually or in combination). Speaking with a doctor and/or pharmacist will help determine your current overall health and give you an outline of what needs treatment (Caution: speak with your doctor/ pharmacist if you are on any medication; due to some herbal treatments counteract some medications) . An herbalist and/or a Nutritionist can help you determine good and natural treatments available. A good one will also know how to approach a Doctor regarding natural treatments and your health.
