Herbal Power and Health

The power of nature. I find it very fascinating how some of the greatest minds to ever bless the world received much of their inspiration from nature, such as da Vinci. Even pharmaceutical companies often find the source of new drugs from nature, such as by trying reproduce the medicinal benefits of plants.

Of course, it makes you wonder, 'Why not just use the plant'? Now I'm not arguing that plants could replace drugs; however, I think they can sometimes. Consequently, I think we should cherish nature more, instead of always just trying to reproduce it for economic gain.

Anyway, there was an interesting article in the LATimes.com about herbal medicines. Check out the interesting ideas on how to help treat arthritis, weight-loss, diabetes and even cancer.

Gee, I'd sure rather go to my herbal drug counter in the backyard, than to a pharmacy most times.
