All About Herbal Products and Their Benefits

The benefits of herbal products have been acknowledged worldwide. Let us tell you that the use of organic medicines became very popular by the year 1996. In the US, the annual sale of these products touched $2.5 billion a few years back.
The use of herbs can help you alleviate several infections and diseases. What more? There are several “over the counter” medicines (recommended by doctors), that have a considerably long history of use as natural remedies including quinine, opium and aspirin. Organic supplements are advertised to treat almost every disease under the sun. These supplements include kava, garlic, melatonin, gingko biloba, ephedra, dong quai, glucosamine and ginseng among others. As per the World Health Organization, around 74% of 119 medicines derived from plants are utilized in methods similar to their traditional uses. Major drug firms have, time and again, conducted extensive research on herbs and plants procured from forests to explore their pharmaceutical qualities.
Herbal creams, oils, medicines, juices and supplements are free from harmful chemicals and toxins that non-herbal products are generally associated with. Let us take the example of (non-organic) skincare products. There are so many products that are even known to cause migraines, hormone imbalance, severe headaches and other maladies. What more? Some of these products are even known to cause changes of behavioral patterns.
