Herbal medicine is a new category on our site. Although we have many articles that include information of some sort we see the need to develop a comprehensive section on the subject. With the rise of the superbugs and the law of diminishing returns in regards to pharmaceutical antibiotics and other medications we feel the need to provide information and research based articles on the health benefits of herbal medicines and preparations. We are just getting started but you can expect a lot of information over the new year to appear in this section from book reviews to help on building your own Herbal Medicine Chest. We'll also pass on tips for growing your own herbs as well as recommend manufacturers with efficacious products. As always this information is not intended as medical advice. For diagnosis and treatment of any medical condition, consult your physician or health professional. Here's to a happy and healthy 2014!
