Finding the Best Natural Health Supplements

Natural health supplements are vitally important in our modern world to offset the effects of poor diet, and living in toxic environments with polluted air and water. With so many chemicals and synthetic products and their related side effects it is absolutely necessary to take a look at the benefits of natural supplements created from substances and plants found in nature, at least where health is concerned.

Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine are two practices that address health issues with the help of natural supplements and organic medicines. The herbs generally used in these two ancient methods are easily available and are comparatively cheaper in comparison to synthetic drugs. Being made up of natural elements with some made into organic supplements they are more energetically compatible with the body.

Some popular and beneficial organic supplements used in Ayurveda include ginger, licorice, myrrh and turmeric, to name a couple of the most recognized herbs, and there are many others we could mention. Chinese medicine incorporates herbs like ginseng, bitter melon, garlic, ginkgo biloba, and of course green tea which is known for its anti-oxident benefits. Again, there are many others, but the important thing to understand is that natural health supplements have been used since ancient times with incredible healing results.

Herbal tea, is worthy of discussion on its own for herb teas are easy to ingest and share many healing properties. There are many beneficial elements in herbal teas and they are used for various purposes. For example some teas help with improving digestion and appetite, controlling high blood pressure, or relieving anxiety and irritability. You will find teas that help in time of illness to ease lung congestion and relief coughs and sooth sore throats. Some will help improve liver and kidney functions, assist in lowering cholesterol, and help to regulate blood sugar. Again there are herbal teas to ease most any health symptom. If you are taking medication, it is always important to get your doctors opinion on which herbs and natural health supplements are compatible with your medications to avoid mixing elements that might react to one another.

I have a question: I'm going on a long hiking trip this summer and I would like to know if there are any herbs I could find in the woods to help with stinging nettle, poison ivy, or maybe some tea leaves?

I have had a complete hysterectomy and have to take Cenestin 1.25mg. Is there an organic replacement that will have the same effect?

Hi Roxanna, The low blood sugar would be helped by making sure you start your day with a meal that contains some good protein. This will help keep sugar levels more even throughout the day. Also consider having something on hand for when you feel the levels are low. As for iron, consider raisins, molasses, or liver. I like to take a handful of raisins with me to work. The molasses can be an acquired taste. Some people love the taste and others just don't care for it.
