| QUESTIONS | |
| What are herbals? | Herbal remedies use herbal plant material as the basis for valuable medicine. Herbs are a naturally therapeutic remedy for human ailments that have been relied upon for years. Herbal medicine uses artful intuition more than precise scientific reasoning when developing a protocol. |
| Why use herbals? | The tendency in conventional medicine has been to focus on the elimination of symptoms rather than on removing the underlying conditions from which the illness arises. Using herbal remedies as mild therapeutic agents aids the body in adjusting the factors that are likely to be the cause of the disease process. |
| Are there bad side effects to using herbals? | As a rule, rational herbal medicine is safer than conventional medicine because the medicines are more dilute and side effects less severe. However, sometimes side effects are experienced. If this is the case, cut back on your dosage or stop taking the herb. Listen to your body and pay attention to its reaction. |
| Are there interactions with pharmaceuticals? | Some herbal remedies will interact or contraindicate certain drugs. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if an interaction is suspected. |
| How are herbs related to my general health? | Maintaining good health should be the goal of everyone. Herbs, vitamins, minerals and good food all help the body protect itself from illness and stay healthy. Herbs can help to balance body chemistry to avoid disease. Herbs can also provide energy and proper systems functioning to eliminate toxic accumulation and congestion that cause disease. |
| When will I see results? | There are several factors involved, such as the severity of the problem, the health of a person's digestion and assimilation, the amount of herbals taken, the stress a person is under, and so on. However, some often get excellent results within a day or two. |
| When should I take herbals? | Herbs can be used in minor ailments and in emergency aid. They can be taken for long standing disease as well as for acute conditions. Accurate dosage and regular usage should be determined with a health care provider. |

Why use liquid herbal extracts?
|
The herbal remedies available at Wild Garden Herbals are in liquid extract or tincture form. These extracts use either alcohol or vegetable glycerin to effectively extract the medicinal qualities from the herbal plant matter. Liquid extracts work quickly and effectively because digestion does not tend to interfere with the remedies' ability to be absorbed into the body as can often be the case when taken in pill form. |
