Natural Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies are natural botanical products, derived from plants, that people may use to treat and prevent diseases. These remedies can be used in various forms, such as dried, chopped, powdered, or liquid form, and are often used for internal consumption.
They are part of a group of treatments called complementary and alternative medicine. Currently, thousands of herbal medicine products are available over the counter in the United States and Canada.
Research from a 2018 focus-group suggests that people may use herbal medicine because they are dissatisfied with conventional medicine. They may also use herbal medicines to:
- treat mild and moderate conditions
- start treatment before taking conventional medicine
Other common uses include:
- boosting the immune system
- increasing energy
- weight loss
- enhancing mood
- improving sleep

NOTE: It is important to consult a healthcare provider before using herbal remedies, especially if you are taking other medications, as they can interact with prescription drugs.
