Using Herbs for Chronic Health Problems
Because I work with people to restore health from the root of the problem, it is impossible to assign one herb to chronic diseases without knowing a lot more about the person than simply the name of their diagnosed disease.Rather than using herbs to suppress symptoms or in a hit-and-miss fashion I want to know why the person is experiencing bad health.
While western medicine may diagnose 10 people with eczema and give them all the same “cures”, I believe it is more important to look at the individual and the problems they are specifically experiencing.
Is there something wrong with their diet? Are they not getting enough nutrients? How is their sleep? Is there something awry with their digestion? Are they experiencing too much stress?
The answers to these questions (and many more) help to determine the best way to restore vibrant health naturally, while simply stating a disease name does little to actually pinpoint why a person has “dis”ease.
Herb and Drug Interactions
Another important consideration can be other significant health
problems the person is experiencing as well as which medications they
are taking. While most herbs are incredibly safe with little to no
unwanted effects, herbs and drugs can sometimes interact negatively. It
is irresponsible to take herbs alongside drugs without knowing the
possible interactions and contraindications.
Choosing The Herbs Is Just The Beginning
Once you’ve established a wellness plan based on your individual
needs, the work has only just begun. There is no standardized way to
take herbs and there is no standardized dosages. While this might seem
like a bother (it’s certainly not as easy as saying “take this pill
three time a day”), it is also another way that herbalism can be
incredibly effective.
Instead of having a one-size-fits-all
approach, I tailor the herb, the way the herb is taken, and the amount
that is taken specifically to the individual.Some things to consider... Is the herb best taken as a fresh tincture or as a capsule? Maybe a tea? How long should it steep? Or should it be simmered? For how long?
How often should the herb be taken? At what dose? When should you expect results?
I hope by now you see why it is difficult to simply spout off a list of herbs for any given disease. Herbs, people and chronic disease are too complex for off-the-cuff responses.
