Do herbal remedies actually work?
A. The answer to this is surely a resounding ‘yes’! Of course, not every remedy will be suitable for every person in the same way as conventional medicine sometimes works well for one patient yet has little effect on another. But it should be remembered that many drugs are based on plant and herb extracts and it is from them that they gain their efficacy. Herbal treatments for such diseases as eczema and other skin conditions have been shown to have great effect, whilst others help with respiratory problems or treat minor but disruptive conditions such as insomnia. If a treatment is to work well for you, it is important to consult someone who is an expert on herbal remedies and to use the right herb, or combination of herbs, for your condition.
