To truly understand and appreciate the healing potential of herbal medicine, we must keep firmly in mind the key differences between herbal medicines and pharmaceutical drugs, and the advantages of the natural herbal approach. The main advantages are:
Herbs work with Nature, not against it.
Herbs work by enhancing the natural physiological functions and defensive healing reactions of the organism.
Many modern medicines, on the other hand, suppress key bodily functions and block these natural healing reactions.
Over the long term, this negative approach wears down the inherent vitality and resistance of the organism.
