I am wondering if any of you have heard of herbal medicine? And if you do, do you use any?

[Ange1]

The reason why I am asking is I am doing a project about herbal medicine and in a way also remedies. I want to find out if people still practice herbal medicine in todays modern society. If you have any remedies that work for you or herbs that work for you please contact me on this site. Your replies are greatly appreciated thank you for your time!

I have used herbal medicine for managing the menopause. I also used both St John's Wort and 5-HTP for depression. Menopause stuff excellent, the rest collided with prescribed medication and made me very unwell.

Hi! thank you very much for your reply, so the st. John's wort did not work for you? Were you prescribed to use it? or you chose to use herbal medicine in your own choice?

[jillylin in reply to Ange1]

It was my choice.

I have been to a homeopath which it would be worth you investigating. My son lives in China and they almost exclusively use herbal remedies so that would be an interesting thing to investigate too!!

Hi, thank you very much for your reply, are you from England, london? if so do you know any homeopath places in london that I can go to?

[Hidden in reply to Ange1]

No, I do not live in London but why not google it?

I got quite interested in hunting out wild food and herbs some years ago, no favourites as remedies, but the books are still kept in reserve for creating remedies if traditional medicine can't come up with the goods. or for when old age throws up any nasty conditions... My approach is to see fruit and veg as a mainstay of keeping me healthy, as well as artificial vits and mins..
