Why Herbs

Herbs have been used by man as food and as medicine for centuries. They work with the body, not against it, in strengthening and building the body gradually so the body itself is stronger. Herbs can be compared with food; they feed the body. Just as with food, herbs need to be used with wisdom and knowledge. Drugs have never built a cell they mask the problem so that it appears that the body is getting better. It suppresses the symptoms which usually keep reoccuring in other ways the more often you suppress them. There are herbs that are infection fighters, anti-bacterial, antiseptic, hormonal, diuretic, antihistamine, laxative, antispasmodic, cardiac, digestive, nervine, relaxant, etc. Herbs perform certain functions in the body, just as certain foods contain vitamins and minerals that help certain areas of the body. Herbs store indefinitely, They lose about 30% of their potency in the first 24 to 36 hours after picking, but are stable after that if kept in a cool, dry place. So think twice about what you'll use to help your next symptom. Food in comparison loses more than half of it's value after picking and even more when boiled. ( That's saying it is ripe at the time of picking - which they're not if you buy them in the grocery store ) To actually get the suggested amount of well balanced amount of nutrients that you need daily, you'd have to eat bushels of good non sprayed foods. That's why herbs and vitamin suppliments are the answer. You can get those well balanced amounts with suppliments from a good company like NSP. They have had scientist and doctors formulating the products with good quality raw materials and processed them never about boiling point so that your body can use it at the cell level. When building the body every person is unique. You may notice results quickly and for some it takes longer. We often say keep at it for three months and recall from what state your condition started from. Often there will be healing events that your body goes thru, where you may feel worse as you start to cleanse ( those are usually in more health deteriated situations ) But in cases of colds or coughs things like HRP-C and CBG work really fast. Colic - Catnip & Fennel is a life saver for baby and parents. Sometimes people ask when they can stop taking herbs. There are suppliments that are just good to take all the time. It's like needing food and air everyday. Hippocrates once said - " Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food.." They take time to build up your body. So prevention is the key.
