Herbal Medicine is available at our Kings Heath, Birmingham Therapy Centre.
What
is Herbalism?
It
is probably safe to say the Herbalism is the oldest form of medicine
known to man. In any ancient culture a tradition of some form of
Herbalism will be found. Herbal medicines stayed at the centre of
all medical treatments until the advent of modern synthetic chemical
medicines. Now, research is discovering that natural herbs can be
as effective as synthetic preparations and in some cases more so.
Herbal
medicines work on a simple biochemical level to fulfill three primary
functions: to cleanse, to heal and to nourish. Before a body can
heal and bring itself the health, it needs to rid itself of the
toxins and the dead and decaying matter that litter it. Herbs are
used to aid elimination and detoxification.
The
next step is to use the power of herbs to assist the body to lead
itself back to optimum health. The herbs help to stimulate the body's
own self-healing powers and attack the underlying causes of illness.
Lastly
herbs are used to maintain the condition of bodily organs and nourish
all the body systems helping to keep us on a healthy, even keel.
The aim of Herbal Medicine is that by taking herbs over a period
of time in moderate doses, the biochemical responses of the body
will become automatic and will begin functioning for itself again
even when herbs are no longer taken.
