Herbal medications aim to balance the body with respect to each individual’s unique condition, rather than suppressing signs of disease. Though herbs can be slower acting than traditional drugs, they have the advantage of having fewer side effects. Herbs may be used in conjunction with or in place of traditional drugs, depending on the disease treated.
Examples of conditions that may benefit from herbal medications include allergies, arthritis, asthma/bronchitis, behavioral issues, cancer, chronic renal failure, chronic urinary tract infections, Cushing’s disease, diabetes, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease and liver disease.
