Herbs Herbal History The history of herbs date back thousands of years to the times of when doctors didn t have many tools of medicine to cure the ill with. They would use plants, berries, roots, and event the barks of some trees to cure an ailment. In those times there wasn t much background research on herbal remedies and so sometimes a cure from a doctor could increase the sickness or even be fatal. Europe and the Mediterranean have been using herbs to cure and help for 4000 years and there are even some herbal healings mentioned in the Bible. Herb use to mean all non-woody plants but today it is referred as to any part of any plant such as the fruit, bark, flower, leaf, or root. There are myriad herbal systems such as European and Native American just to name a couple.
Since there are so many systems there are also different ways of classifying herbs. Mostly all the systems have one thing in common and that is all of them treat the body as a whole and they each use the power of the plants to each individual as a whole. Each system is different and categorize herbs and plants differently. But whichever system you choose to go with the results will just about be the same.
Herbs have different powers that can heal and help people. Herbs are safe to take and there are little cases of overdose. Herbs can cure lots of sicknesses and also protect the body by getting rid of problem inside. Herbal Remedies Herbal remedies are ones that claim they can cure a sickness or help in some way.

Ginseng is a Chinese herb that has been used fro 7000 years. With that much background and history there must be something good about it. In an article from web it says that ginseng normalizes physical functioning depending on what the individual needs So if a person has high blood pressure then the ginseng will lower it and if a person has low blood pressure the ginseng wil increase it. There are also many other claims that ginseng has such as enhance memory by improving the blood flow to the brain, boost energy levels as well as many others. The big question is do all of these claims actually work. Well only research and study can prove this.
There has been plenty of research to prove that ginseng can do most of its claims but not all of them happen to all people. Let s just say that its not going to hurt you but it might not help you either. Ginseng contains vitamins A, B-6, and the mineral zinc. These are good for the thyroid gland, which is another reason ginseng is good. The main ingredients in ginseng are 25 glycosides call ginsenosides, which are kind of like steroids. These glycosides balance and control the effects of stress.
Siberian ginseng has shown to increase energy, stamina, and help the body resist viral infections. Ginseng is one of the most popular healing herb. It is used worldwide and has the medical research to probe all of its claims. False Claims of Herbs As I have done research on herbal remedies I have found little on the fact that there are any false claims on herbs. I have found over 150 herbs that actually help the body in their own separate ways. Not each of the herbs I researched said that they are proven to do the job that they do.
But from over the years an herb may have grown a reputation to do one thing or another. This doesn t necessarily mean that these herbs don t work it just meant that there is no scientific proof to support these claims. Now there are of course poisonous herbs but those wouldn t be any of the herbs to take. Even though I found little on fake claims I did find out that there could be an overdose and side effects of some herbs. This is of course due to the fact that not everyone can handle or needs a certain type of herb.
Each and every herb works in its own way and it does its purpose. It won t help a man who has live cancer to start eating juniper berries, but a person who is young starts to eat juniper berries they are less likely to get liver cancer. Herbs are not miracle drugs but the can be very helpful if they are take right and often. For example people who have liver damage or are prone to acid reflux should avoid using peppermint. There aren t any cases of over dosage of peppermint but pure menthol (the active ingredient in peppermint) can be lethal in doses as little as 2 grams but this is likely to happen. Herbs themselves cannot harm a person in any way if they are taken properly, and the person is not allergic or have any medical problems that would make the herb upsetting.

As with any other food or drug, too much of one thing can be deadly. There are some products on the herbal market that claim they do a lot but there is no way of proving them unless they are bought and tried.
