Herbs are plants with leaves, seeds, or flowers that are used as food, medicine, or perfume. Botanically herbs are seed-bearing plants that don’t have woody stems and they die to the ground after flowering.

They have been used since time immemorial to treat lots of diseases, historical facts and holy books bear witness to that.

In this article, we will be looking at the therapeutic/medicinal value of herbs generally then in subsequent articles, we will look at individual herbs and the functions they perform in the body.

Herbs are used to add taste and aroma to foods, but their function goes beyond that; when used for medicinal purposes, they can treat, cure and prevent almost any disease we know today or alleviate the symptoms of some of the diseases.

Their actions are so potent that some researches have proved that ginger and turmeric reduces pain than most pain relieving drugs we have now.

They are rich sources of anti-oxidant: Anti-oxidants are compounds that fight oxidative stress and the activities of free radicals in the body, when these is not checked or prevented, rapid aging and other health issues sets in. so regular intake of herbs supplies the body with anti-oxidant benefits and prevent many chronic diseases from occurring.
They are very rich sources of phytochemicals: A wise woman once said that “phytochemicals are gift to humanity from the plant world” and this is true because studies have proved the healing powers of phytochemicals and drugs are being made now by creating synthetic phytochemicals. Phytochemicals like flavonoids are said to fight cancer cells and prevent it from even happening in the first place.

Many studies have proved the ability of medicinal herbs to destroy most types of cancer and regular intake prevents the formation of cancer cells in the body. Turmeric even blocks the supply of blood to cancer cells. They purify the blood, prevents mutations which can lead to cancer and they flush out waste and toxins from the body because accumulation of these can also lead to cancer. Ginger, turmeric, aloe vera (this plant is smarter than most cancer drug, it only kills cancerous cells while chemotherapy and other cancer drugs kill all the body cells), lemon and limes (due to high vitamin C content), etc.
They provide essential oils: Essential oils from herbs and plants have very anti-inflammatory effects, they fight infections, reduce symptoms and boosts immune function. Essential oils fight inflammation by inhibiting COX (cyclooxygenase), an enzyme that mediate inflammatory reactions in the body; this makes essential oils potent in treating and alleviating symptoms of arthritis and other diseases that are caused by inflammation. Essential oils are also used to lift moods, fight colds and flus and to scent the house. Examples are ginger essential oil, lemon grass essential oil, lavender and rosemary essential oils.
They protect the skin: Regular intake of herb helps our skin which is the first layer of our immune system and the largest organ in the body to be healthy. For ages, women have used herbs to herbs to beautify themselves, look younger and get a brighter and radiant complexion. Herbs for skin care are aloe vera, neem, turmeric, ginger, holy basil, mint, tea tree and Moringa.
They prevent malnutrition: Regular intake of herbs supplies the body with many trace minerals and vitamins, phytochemicals, phytosterols and plant derived nutrients and this will make the body to be rich in all these thereby preventing nutritional deficiencies which can lead to sicknesses and death.
They reduce sugar and cholesterol levels in the body: Herbs have powerful effect on the pan crease and they do the work better than most drugs and they give no side effect. They can also reduce blood pressure and thereby prevent many chronic diseases. Examples of such herbs are ginger, garlic, turmeric and Moringa.
They strengthen the immune system: They help in strengthening the immune system and boosting its function because they are rich in essential oils, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, phytosterols, antioxidants and other phyto chemicals which the body uses to fortify itself against toxins, germs and diseases. Ginger, turmeric, garlic, goldenseal, elderberry, hibiscus, onion and cinnamon.
They can be used as cheaper and alternative medicine: Herbs cheap natural cures with no side effects; studies have also proved them more potent than most over-the-counter drugs and they can also be used in cases of medical emergencies.
Oral care: Herbal toothpaste are now everywhere in the market because of the tremendous oral benefits and they have no harmful chemicals that cause problems in the body.

Herbs for oral/dental hygiene are mint, aloe vera, sage, strawberry, lavender, parsley, and thyme.

Boost fertility: Herbs helps to regulate the production of hormones including sex hormones, they can increase sex drive, prevent reproductive problems and promote healthy functioning of the reproductive system. Herbs like ginger, milk thistle, mother worth, red raspberry, red clover and nettles.

Many people are afraid of taking herbs in the name of “side effects”, “natural things are dangerous” and all those jargons I hear every day that makes me marvel at them.

These same people can take more than one can of soft drink a day, they take lots of sugar and eat sugary and junk foods but they are not afraid of those ones that will cause harm and send them to an early grave.

Herbs cannot harm your body even if taken in excess, because in the first place they were created as food for man; they contain many nutrients but there are in very little quantity, that is why you can never get vitamin and mineral overload by eating herbs, fruits and vegetables.

Your body has many daily nutritional needs, repairs to do every day and infections to fight which will require daily intake of herbs.

Every day toxins enter your body through what you eat and drink, what you apply on your skin, breathing in contaminated air, makeup products, electromagnetic radiations from telephone masts, cell phones and laptops, you come in contact with viruses, bacteria and fungi every day, you don’t know because they cannot be seen with the eyes, every second your body is either repairing or creating new cells, so why should daily intake of herbs be a thing to be scared of while the above mentioned points don’t even make some to raise their eyebrows.

I think the main cause for this is ignorance. Herbs have no side effect and there is nothing like overtaking it especially in our world today where everything is designed to kill one; from stress to what we eat, apply on our skin, drink and even when you are in the comfort of your home, you are surrounded by harmful electromagnetic radiation.

The only time herb should be discouraged and might cause problem is when one is on medication; in that case a doctor needs to be contacted to know if it is safe to take a particular herb along with the drug.

But in most cases this is not advised and allowed by medical doctors due to drug herb interaction. When taking blood thinners and aspirin, it is not advisable to take herbs like ginger and garlic, because they do the same work and that can lead to more serious problems.

So if you are on any medication, do not take herb till you are done with taking it, then you can start including herbs and herbal teas in your diet to remove toxins (by-products of the drugs), to help your body heal faster and to restore your body to its normal metabolism.

Pregnant women who are on medications should also avoid herbs. A week before surgery, herbs should also be avoided.

Common ways to use herbs

Essential oils

This is the most potent way to use herbs for medicinal purposes; they are very concentrated in phytochemicals and other phytonutrients. They can be taken orally, applied topically, inhaled and added to bath water.

For sensitive skin and to avoid toxicity, it is advised to mix essential oil with carrier oils like coconut, olive or jojoba oils. Consult with a well-trained herbalist to know if an essential oil can be taken orally and do not combine them with drugs to avoid drug-herb interaction.

Capsules/supplements/powder

This is another way to take herbs for medicinal purposes; in this method, the active ingredients only are extracted, quantified and packaged as a drug; let it be prescribed by a doctor and follow prescription to avoid issues.

Herbal teas

This is how I take my herbs, I start my day every day by taking a cup of ginger and lemon tea, and this has helped me greatly, it reduced the rate of frequent illness, increased my energy, stopped menstrual cramps and made my skin beautiful.

Other teas to start your day with are lemon and honey, peppermint and cinnamon herbal teas. When on medication, consult with a doctor if it safe to take herbal teas.

As spice

Herbs are also good as spice, they add unique taste and aroma to foods; adding herbs generously to your meals is also another way to take herbs as medicine. Ginger, garlic, turmeric and cinnamon are common spices that are added to foods.

Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin; Keratin is used by the body to make hair strands.

Taking lots of protein helps your body to make more keratin, which will boost hair growth.

A deficiency in protein leads to less keratin in the body, and this ultimately leads to poor hair growth.

Eat foods rich in protein like beans, legumes, soybeans, chicken, beef, and dark green vegetables.

You can also take fish oil supplements if you don’t have access to most of these foods, but do not take fish oil supplements if you are blood blood-thinning medications.

Vitamin C

Many experimental studies have proved that oxidative stress plays a major role in the process of aging, causing free radical damage to cellular structural membranes, lipids, proteins, and DNA.

Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that fights free radicals and prevents oxidative stress, which contributes to hair thinning, loss, and greying.

Take lots of vitamin C-rich foods like red peppers, oranges, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, grapefruits, kiwi, and kale.

Rich sources of iron are spinach, black and navy beans, Swiss chard, eggs, collard greens, and dark green leafy vegetables.

Vitamin B5 and Biotin

These are potent natural treatments for hair loss; they reduce hair shingles that have been damaged by chemical-filled shampoo, blow drying, and ironing.

A major sign of biotin deficiency is hair loss; eat foods rich in biotin, foods as beef, eggs, avocados, chicken, nuts, potatoes, and legumes.

The Not-So-Pretty Side of Permanent Tattoos: Disadvantages to Know

Getting inked is crazy, and most of us want to get the right things in on our bodies forever.

We even know that some of our favorite celebrities have inked several things on their bodies, and it only motivates us to choose the right thing, please, good, or even a name inked on our bodies.

However, before you contact a tattoo artist, consider the following disadvantages of having a permanent tattoo.

Allergies

The first disadvantage we will discuss is its effect on sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, you’re prone to developing rashes once you get a permanent tattoo on your body.

So, if you have sensitive skin, do not even think of getting a permanent tattoo on your body.

To eliminate allergies, you might consider removing your permanent tattoo from your body. For this, tattoo removal cream will be important.

However, don’t assume you’ll eliminate the allergies as soon as you apply the cream. It is a process that takes time.

Allergies often become a cause of concern for many people, even if they do not have sensitive skin.

Avoiding the situation that makes you prone to allergies is the best way to tackle the situation.

However, you should constantly remind yourself that you need to avoid an unnecessary tattoo on your body.

Remember that if you have a permanent tattoo on your body and there have been no after-effects, you cannot be sure that the next tattoo you are planning will be safe.

The best way to avoid this situation is to stay away from permanent tattoos.

You’ll Not Be Able to Donate Blood

Blood donation is not just a formality but the duty of every individual. However, once you get your body inked permanently, you’ll not be in a position to donate blood.

For many people, this might not be necessary, but it is to be seen as a responsibility and not just a task many people undertake regularly.

Blood donation is important because there are many people in the school who need Blood on a regular basis and if they do not get blood even for a day, they can lose their life.

A tattoo can be important to you, but if it has more value than someone’s life, you need to start thinking about the choices you are making.

Infections

One of the most irritating disadvantages of a permanent tattoo is infections.

This may not happen in everyone’s skills, but if you have not taken care while choosing the right tattoo studio, some infections might be caused by used and infected needles. Hepatitis is one of the infections that can destroy your life.

Infections because of used needles can be a cause of concern for you even if you are getting the tattoo from the best tattoo artist in this world.

There are no guarantees, and you should understand that the infection risk percentage will always be high.

We are not trying to frighten you with this, and we suggest you look for infections people face after opting for a permanent tattoo.

We wish to guide you in the best possible way so you do not fall prey to a beautiful-looking permanent tattoo.

Aftercare is Difficult

Once you have a permanent tattoo inked on your body, it is important to take care of both your tattoo and your body.

Certain rules are applied by the tattoo Artist, and you should make it a point to follow everything suggested by the tattoo artist.

If you do not do so, you’ll run into problems related to the tattoo, and getting rid of it will not be easy.

Avoiding the tattoo is the best thing to do if you know your habits and know it will not be easy for you to take care of it. Aftercare is difficult, and you’ll always have to monitor the situation.

This means you will push yourself to spend days, weeks, or even months trying to find the right care for your permanent tattoo.

Having said that, you should make it a point to set aside a time frame every time you plan to get a permanent tattoo inked on your body.

If you are fine with the above-noted issues we have discussed, you may go ahead and get a permanent tattoo on your body; otherwise, look for ways to satisfy your need to get inked by opting for a temporary tattoo.
