INTRODUCTION
In recent years the issue of Alternative Healing has skyrocketed to the
forefront of the medical field. A 2004 government survey concluded that
more than one third of adults use alternative medicine and healing.
One facet of this burgeoning interest is Herbal Medicine. While it may
seem “trendy” to some, Herbal Medicine has been around for thousands
of years. In fact, many of the familiar pharmaceutical medications we use
today were originally created from “natural” ingredients. Drugs like opium
(from poppies), aspirin (from willow bark), digitalis (from foxglove) and
quinine (from the cinchona tree.)
Interestingly, the synthetic version of “aspirin” is credited with the
beginning of the pharmaceutical industry. A chemist working for the
Friedrich Bayer Company in Germany created the synthetic. The
company registered the term “aspirin” as a trademark but Bayer lost the
patent rights when the Allies seized and resold its foreign assets after
World War I.
The right to use the term “aspirin” in the United States was purchased by
Sterling Drug in 1918. But even before the patent expired in 1917, Bayer
had been unable to prevent their formula from being copied. Hence, the
term “aspirin” has been a generic term in the U.S. ever since.
It would be impossible to cover this topic adequately in one volume. What
we will endeavor to do with this ebook is provide you with an overview of
herbal remedies and subsequently give you an in-depth look at 47 simple
herbal remedies to common, everyday ailments.
Please remember that there is no substitute for advice from a medical
practitioner. The contents provided here should not replace a health and
fitness program and is provided for educational purposes only.You should
consult your own medical practitioner before embarking on any program
that affects your health and well being.
