Question: Do you use strictly herbal medicine.?
I'm a pill poppin animal...

is it worth it.? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
What sort of pills are you popping.? (or is poppin' now trendy as Palinspeak.?)

I don't use any herbals at all really. I've tried echinacea and zinc for colds, and didn't notice any improvement. Despite what my critics think, I'm not philosophically opposed to herbs, their use is plausible. Many pharmaceuticals are based on chemicals derived from plants and herbs. Some herbs do have medicinal properties, and while much more research is needed, it is likely that one day they will be used more commonly as adjuncts.

Even though some herbs do have medicinal properties, in general their effects are weak and unreliable. For example, if you have pain...you would get much more relief from taking ASA then by brewing up some willow bark tea, from which ASA is derived.

also, though there are extravagant claims made for herbs by believers, most of the grandiose claims are not supported by evidence, and the dangers of many herbs are ignored or denied.Health Question & Answer

there something to be said for herbal treatments. I use that in conjunction with traditional medicine, always have. For instance, if I get a UTI, I start drinking cranberry juice at once. If it goes away, wonderful but if it does not, I see my doc for antibiotics but I continue the cranberry juice since it also eases symptoms so the meds cure the infection and the juice makes me feel better and probably helps the meds. I sort of am a pill poppin' animal as well but they are supplements that I am popping. Health Question & Answer
