Herbal medicine is a natural healing art practiced long before the development of modern medicine and drugs, and is becoming increasingly popular among people for whom conventional health care has proven unsuccessful.

Herbs have immune-supporting substances that help bolster the body's own natural resistance to maintain health and ease troublesome or painful symptoms. Herbal remedies can be taken internally as capsules, caplets, tinctures, syrups and teas, as well as externally in the form of creams, salves, oils and liniments.
