The Natural Herbal Remedy

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!
