This Week's Health Tip

We are not alone in noticing a huge increase in the thirst for knowledge about natural health products, especially plant-based medicines and herbal supplements. We have seen this increase exponentially since the Covid lockdowns, which caused many people question conventional medicine and health practices.

Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years by different cultures around the world. However, their popularity had declined in several Western countries, including the USA and Canada, over the last few generations. The many possible reasons for this would require a separate article to explore.

The adoption of any new medicines or supplements should be approached with caution. There is a perception that if a medicine or supplement is "natural", it must be safe. This is not always correct, as there are some plant extracts that are poisonous. Most commercially available natural remedies are safe if used correctly. However, individual reactions may vary.

This article from Epoch Health gives a good background on herbal remedies. "8 Things To Know About Herbs Before Using Them".
