Introduction
An herb is a plant or a part of a plant that is used for its smell, flavor and healing properties. Plants have been in use for their medicinal properties since historic times and also are popular as a form of alternative medicine today.
Today modern medicine construes herbal remedies as an alternate form of medicine as there is no scientifically proven evidence to prove its medicinal properties. However modern medicine also uses some of the ingredients obtained from plants into making of drugs after evidence testing.
There is a lot of myth surrounding the use of herbal medicine in day to day lives. Some people believe that since it is derived from completely natural sources, it is safe and good to use whereas there are some people who believe that since they are natural and have not gone through any of the essential ‘drug testing’, if not used properly could cause more harm than good.
Through this book we have tried to shed light on the use of herbs as medicines, dispelled all the myths surrounding the same and tried to equip you with information of the different medicinal properties of different herbs as well as the correct ways to use them to ensure maximum benefits.
Chapter 1: What are Herbal Remedies?
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest known and widely used systems of medicine in the world today. It cuts across different societies, cultures and religious beliefs as it involves natural use of medicinal plans to cure different ailments. However the plants that are used, the treatments for which they are used and the way the medicines are prepared may differ among different cultures.
With herbal medicine gaining focus all over, there has been an increased attempt to validate the properties of medicinal plants through scientific testing and investigation.
In fact, a lot of modern day drugs use some chemicals that are found in medicinal plants. They are sold in the form of tablets, capsules, the complex chemical composition of these plants provide therapeutic and healing properties as we will see in detail further in this chapter.
Herbal medicine can be used to cure varied ailments like anxiety, blood pressure, depression, skin disorders, insomnia, migraines, etc. These are just as effective as pharmaceutical drugs, if not more and need to be administered by a recognized herbalist with care.
Highlighted below in an introduction to the more common herbs, the scientific support or theory for each and its use in curing of specific ailments –
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has been used by man since ancient times, with its reference also being found and dated back to 6000 years to early Egypt. It was given a lot of importance by the Egyptians who called it a plant of immortality and used it as a burial gift for the pharaohs.
In the earlier days aloe was used as a healing plant to heal various skin diseases, wounds as also orally as a laxative drug. Nowadays in addition to this, it is also used to cure a variety of conditions like diabetes, asthma, osteoarthritis and epilepsy.
It is applied topically for conditions like burns, sunburns, osteoarthritis and psoriasis. That is also the reason that it is found as a very common ingredient in a lot of cosmetic products in the market today like face washes, gels, sun screen creams and lotions. It is also an FDA approved herb to be used as a natural food flavoring agent.
The latex or juice found in aloe vera plant contains strong laxative properties and hence also used in a lot of OTC laxative drugs. Topical application of aloe vera gel can help in healing skin burns, sun burn and wounds (albeit not deep surgical wounds).
Use of aloe vera is not known to cause any serious / harmful side effects however there have been some cases of diarrhea and stomach cramps due to oral use of aloe vera. Also oral usage of aloe vera should be done carefully by people suffering with diabetes who are on medication to lower glucose levels, as aloe vera can further lower the blood glucose levels.
