When combating disease with herbs or other simple natural remedies, it is important to identify the primary or underlying cause of the disease first. The goal of every natural therapist should be to remove the causative factors that are manifesting an array of symptoms throughout the body.
Although herbs have ‘powerful’ properties, they are gentle on the body in contrast to chemical drugs. However, it is important to understand that treating yourself or others with herbs is only one of many therapies that must be considered. There are many principles of health that must be incorporated into a program for you to have successful results.
Only when you know the value of herbs through personal experience can you really appreciate their tremendous effects on the body.
Personal experience coupled with great appreciation and respect for herbs will lead the herbalists to preserve and re-propagate the plants so commonly destroyed in nature by those who know nothing of their benefits nor recognize their value.
