Natural Herbal Remedies vs Pharmaceutical Health Products
If you found the Natural Herbal Remedies website then you already know the answer to that question. If a natural remedy exists as an alternative to a pharmaceutical health product, then it is probably going to be a much healthier solution for your body. Natural herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years, long before modern pharmaceutical companies have found ways to imitate nature and synthesize the chemical components. All natural herbal remedies and synthetic health remedies will have side effects. Our bodies are chemical factories and when you introduce a new chemical into your body it will react directly to whatever chemical you are adding to your existing chemical makeup. If you drink coffee you are adding caffeine into your chemical makeup. The side effects of caffeine can be desirable or undesirable depending on the amount of caffeine you ingest. All of our natural herbal remedies products have been laboratory tested and approved. We only carry nationally approved and recognized natural herbal remedies brand names on our store site. Please read the Natural Herbal Remedies Terms, Legal & Herbal Safety Guidelines for more information about our health products.
History of Herbal Medicinal Uses and Natural Herbal Remedies
Since this is our Natural Herbal Remedies blog we thought we should add some interesting and informative history about herbal medicinal uses. One very interesting fact is that animals seem to instinctively know and seek out natural herbal remedies. Scientists and Healers have observed this behavior for centuries, but how and why wild animals can do this instinctively is not entirely known. Cravings for a particular food or chemical may have much deeper meaning than we suspect.
Natural Herbal Remedies First Written Records
The first written records of herbal medicinal uses, that modern man has discovered, date back 5,000 years to the ancient Sumarians. The Sumarians left well documented records for herbal medicinal uses for several different plant species. Scientists have found evidence that natural herbal remedies have been used all the way back to prehistoric times, but the official written record is dated to the Sumarians.
Chinese Natural Herbal Remedies
Typically when we think of natural herbal remedies, the first culture that usually comes to mind is the Chinese culture. This is due to the fact that several very important Chinese historical figures wrote books and manuscripts that were honored and popularized by future generations. The Chinese culture being a very traditional culture adopted these natural herbal remedy writings as a part of their traditional culture. Of course the other reason we associate the Chinese culture with natural herbal remedies is because they were the first culture to develop the largest world market for natural herbal remedies.
Natural Herbal Remedies from Other Cultures
Another culture that is typically associated with natural herbal remedies is the Indian culture. Ayurveda is the word or term used to describe Indian alternative herbal medicine. The English translation of Ayurveda is “the science of life”.
Probably not many people associate natural herbal remedies with the Greek and Roman civilizations, but actually a large number of natural herbal medicinal uses originated from the writings of Hippocrates and Galen. During the middle ages many Greek and Roman herbal medicinal writings and manuscripts were hand copied by monasteries. Monasteries were considered local centers of herbal medicinal knowledge during the Middle ages. It is no mistake or wonder that religion and churches have been associated with healing very early on in the history of western civilization.
