First I would like to say i am not againest modern medicine.I want to learn herboly so I can use what the earth gives use before before doing something made in a lab.does any one have any resource so that I can learn so I know what I am doing.So i can help my self and others
Let me start off by saying if you take any sort of medicine, please don't stop taking it to replace it for natural herbs and remedies. Doctors know what's best for you.
Now that that's out of the way, there's plenty of resources online about the medical properties of herbs, I'm not too sure that a magic website is the place for what you're looking for. We have articles on the magical properties of herbs, but as far as I remember, not medical uses. But let me find a good link for you.
Im looking for something more reliable.I understand this is a magick. Site I posted this because witch tend to be more opened minded. Its more likely some one here has actual knowledge that can point me in the right Direction.
Learning how to use medicinal herbs is really a lifelong study and it has to involve actual scientific research and knowing/trusting where you are getting your herbs (or growing them, if possible!). Unfortunately, there is so much misinformation out there and with a subject like this, it can be really really dangerous! I agree with you though, there is a comfort turning to the remedies that the earth has to offer as opposed to what a Dr. decides to give you, possibly in a hurry without a lot of thought. I don't know, maybe I've just had a lot of bad experiences with modern medicine. Anyway, just start researching what you are trying to accomplish (less drowsiness, headache issues, stomach upset, etc) and then look into what traditional herbs are used for your chosen topic. Most importantly, look for research from reputed sources (scholarly journals, etc) to see how studies have gone. While I know many of these remedies go back a long time, some have turned out to have side effects, or be completely ineffective. If possible, only start one herb at a time and give it a good month or so to see what your body is telling you. You will become very in tune with what your system says after a while.
This all sounds like a lot, but it's worth it! Additionally, you will truly become an expert on what truly works and doesn't, instead of just trusting what poor sources tell you is fact. You will also be able to accurately tell others what has worked for you since you put the time and effort into what you are passionate about.
