Natural medicines often provide a safe, effective, and economical alternative to pharmaceuticals, and research validates this finding. Many modern drugs are actually derived from plants such as morphine from the opium poppy, digitalis from foxglove, and reserpine from rauwolfia. Herbs are less likely than pharmaceuticals to cause side effects which, when they do occur, are generally far milder. Herbs work physiologically to restore balance rather than simply targeting a symptom. As a result, herbs often tend to take effect more gradually than pharmaceuticals. CONTENTS: 1. Herbal Remedies 2.
