A member asked:
Why do some books claim that herbs can cure certain diseases? is there any truth?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Herbs have been known to have medicinal properties since the time of hippocrates. The problem is knowing what to take it for, how much to take, what side effects to look for, what the contraindications are, and how they may interfere with other medications. So even though they may work, it is hard to trust the claims made about them from people trying to sell them to you.

Yes!: Herbs are medicines from nature, and are effective in treating many symptoms and conditions. For help with how to use herbs, find a good naturopathic doctor. They are well-trained in herbal medicine. If you see any doctor, make sure to put any herbs you are currently taking on your medication list.
