Herbal Remedies / Supplements
Many of the reasons why our society has become so unhealthy, sick and disease stricken is because we have strayed away from looking to nature for natural therapies and employing herbs. There are many chemicals found within the plant kingdom that produce therapeutic actions inside our bodies. The study of these chemicals is called phytochemistry and has been used over centuries and in many countries. Your alarm system in the form of symptoms is your body’s way of telling you that it’s out of balance.
