Experts believe that:

Herbs can replace medications if there are no contraindications;
Sometimes herbs can help reduce disease activity, but additional dose remove the medication completely;
You need to be as careful as possible with both herbs and medications, as they have precautions, contraindications and recommendations for use.

To choose a treatment method for a specific problem, it is advisable to undergo a study in a clinic and consult a doctor to avoid problems and worsening the condition.

This all contributes to the formation of minerals, vitamins, tannins, phytoncides or chemicals that can poison the body. By choosing the right plants you can: increase immunity; eliminate colds and similar problems; remove inflammation, both inside and outside, and not only that.

Plant Directory

There are a number of rules that must be followed when collecting and preparing medicinal plants that are present in the herbal directory.

Rules:

Collection should be carried out exclusively in an ecologically clean area, where there are no factories and, accordingly, emissions into the atmosphere, soil and water bodies.
It is not advisable to collect in places where cattle are walked, as the plants will be saturated with toxins from the waste.
There is no need to pull out the entire plant, as it is enough to collect the part that is required. This will help preserve the root system and allow for harvesting next year.
The grass is collected in dry sunny weather, otherwise the plant may simply rot in as soon as possible, as well as high humidity will affect shelf life and beneficial properties.

Eat special instructions regarding the collection of herbs according to weather conditions. For example, the above-ground part of the plant is naturally harvested when there is no rain and not in the morning, in order to eliminate the period of presence of dew. As for the root system, it can be collected at completely different times, since in any case additional drying will be required.

Each plant has its own properties, benefits and harms, and there are even herbs in which the root is considered poisonous to human health, but the petals or foliage are especially useful. Herbalists categorically do not recommend collecting and using herbs on your own if you are not sure of their name and properties. Sometimes even the most harmless-looking grass can cause death.
