What is herbal therapy and should a person undertake it as a self-help therapy? NO. Herbal therapy or herbalism is basically botanical medicine. It is the use of herbs and remember I said our food is also our medicine so in their natural state and used properly.
The fruits and vegetables that we eat day to day when they have their full nutritional content and not this bastardization that they are putting on the market today is for healing and not just for their diet. It is using them for their therapeutic or medicinal value. An herb is a plant or part of a plant for either medicinal, aromatic or savory or for eating the food.
Your body takes in the chemical substances from these plants not only to aid in your diet but to you aid you in times of dis-ease. When did this all start? It began when man started eating shrubs and how certain plants helped when certain things were going on. This "database" was built up and passed on by word of mouth and training all the way up to modern day, despite corporate memory being destroyed during the burning times.
It went underground and they still kept practicing it for the barons, earls, kings and queens who knew the importance of this information.
They provided a safe haven for these people from the church.
So primitive man appreciated the plants because they provided food, clothing, shelter and all of this was done through observation of animals, through trial and error but as time went by the medicinal power of the herbs in specific areas built up a knowledge base of that area that took care of all of the people that lived there.
That database was almost destroyed. Did you know that companies like Monsanto, Libby, and Del Monte and others are starting to genetically manipulate certain plants in different countries so that they have a patent on it. They are trying to deny the various medicine people in those areas because they now own the rights to it.
If aspirin were introduced today you would have to have a prescription to get it because it would be considered a controlled substance.
Just like now they are trying to do an inroad around things so that vitamins, amino acids and things like this are to be considered a drug. Thus, they can be controlled by the pharmaceuticals so that they can put the holistic markets out of business. This is a good thing for them because if we don’t have the use of the herbs then we have to use their medicines.
They are trying their best to cut us off from our natural pharmacopoeia. They have already done some things overseas to make some herbs unavailable, and you need a prescription. Money is at the bottom of all of it.
Now, get this. The world health organization estimates that about half the world’s population use some form of herbal treatment.
On top of that, the pharmaceutical companies are working hard on 110-130 plants that they are making their medicines out of in some form or another. One of the frontline heart medicines comes from foxglove. They found out that you cannot break down digitalis to make something else from it or you will kill somebody. If they try to manipulate it then you are dead.
