Certain plants contain amazingly powerful components that have been used for centuries to aid the body. While Western Medicine tends to rely heavily on the use of prescription drugs, most practitioners of Eastern Medicine, as well as traditional Naturopathic doctors and herbalists, consider natural compounds and plants to be much healthier choices.
Using herbs to cope with common ailments allows you to benefit from a synergy of chemical components such as antioxidants and phytonutrients, as they occur in nature. So what types of plants contain powerful health-promoting properties?
Ginger
Praised by Confucius, ginger has been considered a universal panacea. It is gentle on the stomach and is commonly used to relieve symptoms of nausea, indigestion, fever, and infection. More advanced research suggests that it may even be used for heart health, digestive health, boosting the immune system, and assisting in weight loss.
Thyme
This herb is considered one of nature’s most powerful antiseptics and is commonly used in certain mouthwash and decongestant products. Thyme can be added to teas and herbal drinks, where it helps soothe sore throats and coughs, or other irritating respiratory conditions.
Garlic
Garlic has a number of active components, including allicin, alliinase and sulfur compounds, which contribute to its ability to support the immune system. These components also make garlic highly effective in supporting healthy blood pressure, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, and boosting the immune system.
Mint
In addition to smelling and tasting great, mint also has the ability to settle the digestive tract, thus decreasing the severity and length of the occasional stomach ache. The herb can be added to teas, salads or eaten by itself to support the health of the digestive system.
Lavender
Lavender is another fragrant herb that is used in a variety of medicinal and cosmetic products. It is largely cultivated for its natural oils, which can calm nerves and help to manage stress.
