Herbal Medicine Holds
Potent Power
Dr. Yerby, Peoplesway
Science Advisor
The term “herb” refers to a plant used for medicinal purposes. In 1985 the World
Health Organization estimated that perhaps 80% of the world’s population rely
on herbs for their primary care needs. It is also estimated that 30% to 40% of
all medical doctors in France and Germany rely on herbal preparations as their
primary medicines.
According to a Special Report published in the Mayo Clinic Foundation for Medical
Education and Research Newsletter, called Herbal Medicine Goes Mainstream, “People
are taking a more active role in their health care and exploring all their options.
The result is that a growing number of Americans are integrating their conventional
health care with alternatives.”
Many people ask what advantages herbal medicine has over synthetic drugs. As a
rule, botanical preparations are less toxic than their synthetic counterparts
and often have fewer side effects. Usually the action of an herb is to correct
the underlying problem. In contract, a synthetic drug is often designed just to
alleviate the symptom.
The herbs commonly used in the US for health purposes are usually quite safe.
Here are a few that we use successfully and effectively at Peoplesway:
Botanicals especially good for weight loss include Citrus Aurantium, Gurana,
and Green tea. Not only does Citrus Aurantium aid in weight loss, but
also helps to regulate cholesterol and triglycerides, can help to lower blood
sugar in diabetes, and supports functions of the liver and gallbladder. Guarana
is also effective for weight loss, used to improve athletic performance, and to
reduce fatigue. Valuable as a diuretic for weight loss, Green Tea is also used
to improve memory, to protect against heart disease, to treat stomach disorders,
and to prevent prostate cancer.
Having been found to have a strong pain relieving effect are Grape Seed
Extract, Aloe Vera, and Wild Mexican Yam. Grape Seed Extract reduces
the pain of tired and heavy legs by increasing circulation through them, and improves
edema associated with injury or surgery. Aloe Vera is useful for inflammation
from arthritis, ulcers, and psoriasis just to name a few inflammatory conditions.
Nowhere else is the healing power of Nature more evident than in the medicine
of plants. And for those who believe that, why would they choose that which is
made synthetically by man, when that which is made naturally by God is so available?
‘Fact is, they probably wouldn’t.
