Herbal medicine, or herbalism, is one of many different kinds of "Complementary and Alternative Medicines" (CAM), many of which are now evidenced-based to the point where many insurance companies cover the treatment. While it is true that just because a herb is natural does not mean that it is free from risks and side effects, Western and traditional medical practitioners know more about herbs, doses, effects and interactions than ever before.
They are often inexpensive as well, and can be used in a variety of ways, including fresh, dried, pills, powders, poultices on the skin, tea and more. In this guide, we will discuss the herbal medicine, the different branches of herbal medicine, and common remedies that are useful in most herbal medicine cabinets. We will also discuss remedies used to treat particular medical conditions, for safe, effective relief.
