What do you know about herbal supplements? If youâÂÂre like most Americans, it is probably not a whole lot. You may have heard of ginseng- that one has popped up in the news in the past few years. There are now hundreds of companies marketing ginseng products that are claimed to help fight stress, reduce fatigue, protect against colds and flu and possibly boost memory. Generally speaking though, the majority of people are more or less in the dark about herbal supplements.
IâÂÂve spent a considerable amount of time researching herbs and plant extracts and how theyâÂÂve been used for medicinal purposes by various cultures over the centuries and it really is a fascinating topic. What amazed me was the number of common medications that had their roots (no pun intended) in herbal remedies. A classic example is Aspirin. We all recognize Aspirin and its medical value, but few people realize that an extract of essential oils from the Birch tree is nearly 95% pure methyl salicylate; a substance that in its synthesized form comprises the primary ingredient of Aspirin.
