Herbals
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine in the Western world. Originally used in the form of infusions, vinegars and tonics, today we find tablets, capsules and tinctures the most common forms. Many herbs are also still drunk in the form of herbal teas either for enjoyment or therapeutically.
There are many herbal remedies available for everyday health conditions that can be safe and simple alternatives to medication. It is important that you tell your GP if you are taking any herbal remedies when you are prescribed medication as some herbs such as St Johns Wort have an effect on how your medication is absorbed.
It is also important to check with your health professional before taking any herbal remedies if you are already taking medication. It is also generally recommended that pregnant and lactating women seek advice before taking herbal remedies.
