With 11 major support systems to
maintain and nearly 100 trillion cells, your body works hard to fight off
infection, eliminate toxins and mobilize fatty acids for the many processes it
performs each day. Stress on the body
can deplete it of its ability to function properly however. Herbs and extracts can support the
body’s natural working systems and help with a host of health concerns
including inflammation, anxiety and stress, mild to moderate depression, memory
improvement, colds and respiratory infection, prostate health, fatigue and
weakness, menopause and high cholesterol.
In fact, according to the
National Institute of Health’s most recent survey, 1 in 5 adults use some form
of herbal dietary supplement in this country every day. Herbal supplements are
made from plant-based material such as, flowers, seeds, and roots, and the organic
chemicals derived from them, while herbal extract refers to the oils that remain
when the solid matter of the plant is removed. Historically, mankind used plants and herbs for
medical purposes and to heal the body of a number of medical maladies. Today, according to the World Health
Organization, 80% of some African and Asian countries use herbs as some form of
primary healthcare for patients.
Finding the right herb supplements and herbal
extracts to support your whole body is important for overall health and
well-being.
