Herbal medicine has been around for thousands of years, though today it is gaining increasing popularity. Many people are turning towards herbal remedies because they are much less expensive than traditional medicine, and they don't have side effects. However, just like traditional medicines, herbal remedies will also have an impact on your body and are potentially dangerous if not taken correctly. They must, therefore, be used in accordance with the rules and advice of a professional medical practitioner and with the same regards as traditional medicines. If you are planning to go on medication, then you should know the common side effects of some of the drugs found on the shelves. One of the most common is that it can affect your blood pressure, so if you suffer from hypertension, you should avoid herbal medicine. Another drug, called warfarin, can cause a heart attack in people with high blood pressure. There are many other drugs that are commonly used in herbal medicine, such as dandelion, milk thistle, fennel, and catnip, and are all known to help with a wide range of ailments. However, what many herbal medicines won't do is prevent or treat a disease. This is because these herbs cannot break down or penetrate the walls of the blood vessels. Instead, they act as a stimulant, allowing the flow of 'toxins' through the blood system. Therefore, herbal medicine can often be helpful, but it should never be seen as a substitute for pharmaceutical medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacists of any herbal medications you are planning to take, especially if you are currently taking pharmaceutical medications or have heart disease or other health conditions. In addition, even though some herbs can act like pharmaceutical medications, others may not have the same effect. Some herbal medicines act like antibiotics or steroids, while others have none at all. Additionally, some contain large amounts of active ingredients, while others only have small amounts. If an herbal medicine only has a small amount of active ingredient, it may not be effective. Most herbs sold as herbal medicine have one or two active ingredients; aspirin is the most common. However, salicylic acid, which is commonly found in aspirin, can also be found in tea tree oil and ginger. These herbs may be useful for some conditions, but they are unlikely to prevent or treat any disease. They are unlikely to improve your heart condition or even help you sleep.
