Are Herbs Just Suppressing Symptoms? #51


Listen Later

Herbs can help resolve the underlying issue of a health condition and work towards a sustainable, long-term improvement of health. But they can also control symptoms for short-term relief in effective ways and with way fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals. Using herbs to manage symptoms can help to stop the downward spiral of health problems, but it should ideally be combined with herbs that address the actual root cause of the problem for a long-term cure. For example, a person with high blood pressure could use herbal diuretics to lower blood pressure, but this would just suppress a symptom, similar to a drug (but with fewer side effects). Ideally, this approach would be combined with herbs and foods that actually repair and strengthen the cardiovascular system, for example, hawthorn berries and garlic. Listen to the episode for more examples, and how I treated my intense neck pain last week with Lobelia tincture!
