The Natural Herbal Remedy

Author: Melissa Core

One of the things that people who buy health products nowadays seek is the tag 'natural herbal remedy'. This tag has become a fashion today. Everyone now seems to prefer natural herbal remedy and this is sounds a bit alarming to me. Many of these so called natural herbal remedies have never been tested by any authority and may even pose a potential risk. Unlike 'drugs' where in FDA has stringent regulations, these 'herbs' are not subject to such laws and many of these natural herbal remedy products could actually be harmful.

The idea that a natural herbal remedy is always better than the one a person devises has never really convinced me and neither has the idea that natural herbal remedies are harmless. Though not a doctor by profession, but through the biology study I did in my college days I know for sure that natural necessarily does not mean good.

Mother Nature is the best chemist man has ever known. We have toiled for centuries to devise and invent destructive and harmful chemical to slaughter each other, but the most lethal elements and poisons known to man till date are perfectly natural born out of herbs. Here is a great gardening and food site http://www.verygreenthumb.com. Yes, if said that these toxins are natural herbal remedies for survival and which is the case most of the time I would completely agree.

All plants harbor toxins for their defense purposes. Mother nature has imbibed in them to kill or deter animals that want to kill them up. The toxins in the plants that we consume generally are ineffective on humans or have been artificially select over the years and have now completely vanished today. Forests and jungles never need pesticides and insecticides because 'natural' plants and herbs have their own mechanism in place.

The main purpose of this little tirade is to caution against the label 'natural herbal remedy' and not that of dissuading anyone to try anything herbal or natural ever. In the same way as natural substances are home to the most lethal weapons, they are also home to the most beneficial products. You need to be more alert when on the look for a natural herbal remedy and prefer things that have been tested and approved by authority.

Another point: Don't discard a drug since it is not 'natural' or not made of herbs. In the end, human beings are natural and so are our mental powers and hence anything we devise is 'natural' as well!
