Using medicinal herbs as a food source has been proven to reduce pain and treat diseases. Studies show that a variety of herbal extracts alone can produce up to 1000-fold differences in antioxidant levels among different herbs. Of the most dried culinary herbs tested, sage, oregano, Rosemary, basil, thyme, peppermint and clove are proving to be beneficial. Studies also show that these herbs are highly effective in combating chronic pain and improving immune system function. Some studies even indicate that they are able to slow or reverse the affects of aging. The effectiveness of medicinal herbs in providing relief from pain can extend beyond our bodies' ability to heal itself. As our society becomes busier and lives become more stressful, we are unable to find time to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Studies show that taking regular small doses of medicinal herbs can reduce stress by allowing people to reduce their exposure to harmful environmental influences like tobacco smoke and air pollution. Taking three to five small-dose ingestion of medicinal herbs each day can help to regulate blood pressure and ease muscle tension. As a result, patients who suffer from chronic pain may be able to lessen or eliminate their medication. In order for our bodies to function properly, it is important to consume a diet rich in healthy living nutrients. But because so many meals nowadays are filled with unhealthy ingredients, it is nearly impossible to avoid picking up a little junk at any of the fast food chains. Fortunately, some companies have recognized the need to improve their product choices and offer healthier selections to make up for the increased health risk of eating unhealthy foods. Many major grocery stores now offer a choice of organic and natural foods to enhance healthy living. In addition, many health food stores sell a variety of fresh herbs and spices to add to one's favorite recipes. Because people often turn to medicinal herbs for treatment of certain conditions, it is important to become educated about how to use these products wisely. Medicinal herbs vary in effects and healing power based on their specific chemical compositions. Herbs such as St. Johns Wort and Skullcap are highly effective for relieving stress and depression, but they are also powerful in regulating mood and stimulating the brain. Similarly, Passion flower, lemon balm and data can be very effective in treating a range of emotional and mental disorders including anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Some herbs can also help to promote weight loss.
