Plants are important to us bc they provide the air we need to breathe, we can use them as herbs for healing injuries or health (some are used in medication), we use them for our skin like when its in dermatalogy products & whatnot, & not to mention they are great for making tea & pretty to have around.

Extracts of some hibiscus species are claimed to have health benefits, including prevention of constipation, bladder infections and nausea, and high blood pressure. The studies that yielded these results are debated.\n\nThe leaves and calyxes have been used as food and the flowers steeped for tea. Hibiscus has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic, mild laxative and treatment for cardiac and nerve diseases and cancer. Mucilaginous leaves have been used as topical emollient.♥

A promising anti-cancer substance has been found in a Borneo shrub by researchers for an Australian pharmaceutical firm, while a chemical found in latex produced by a tree appears to be effective against the replication of HIV.\n422 new plant species had been discovered in Borneo - shared by Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei - in the last 25 years and many others were believed to be there which could have medicinal applications.\nBut all these promising discoveries could eventually be lost if the disappearing rainforests of the heart of Borneo are not adequately protected.\nMore forest destruction could well deny science the opportunity to discover and develop further potential sources of life-saving medication.

I think both have value, depending on the condition you want to treat, its severity, etc.  Look for products and therapies that are appropriate and safe.\n\nI think a good strategy is to go to your doctor and get a diagnosis.  If you have a chronic condition (osteoarthritis, chronic sinusitus, etc), then certainly look at herbal medicines.  If you have an acute condition, then go with what will get you out of the crisis.  Once stable, you can then begin investigating alternatives.\n\nOriental herbs are usually used in complex formulae and address the root of the problem.  The practitioner of Oriental medicine will look at your symptoms as the expression of an imbalance in your body.  They will want to address the imbalance.  Symptom suppression is very different from real healing, and too often pharmaceuticals only address the symptoms.  That is why you have to keep taking them, because as soon as you stop, the symptoms come back.\n\nOne consideration you will have to make is whether or not you have the commitment to take Oriental medicines.  The formula prescribed for you may require you to cook it up, like a tea or soup.  If you take herbal capsules, you may have to take a number of them a few times a day.  I don't think this is a bad thing, but some people do not want to be bothered with the inconvenience.  Just remember, good health has to be cultivated, and over the long run, you are better off for the effort you invest in yourself.\n\nAlso, many people find that the two medicines work well together.  If you choose this route, be sure to keep all your health pratitioners aware of all the things you are taking.  Herb-drug interaction are very possible, but easily avoided if you keep everyone up to date.\n\nI like herbal medicines because they are usually less taxing on the body, they usually have no side effects (although any medicine can have side effects), they are less costly, and they have a long history of usefullness.\n\nOne important reminder: Herbals are not regulated in America like pharmaceuticals, and some overseas companies are not good at all (some have been tested to have harmful ingredients, or only trace amounts of what it is supposed to have).  Therefore, you need to make sure you buy your supplies from a reputable company or practitioner.  GMP (Good Manufacturing Principles) is a status that some overseas companies use to indicate that there is government regulation on the factory and its products.  Some countries, like Australia, regulate and test herbal products.

Absolutely correct. The compounds in the Leaves are food for the brain. You are not borne with all the knowledge in the world and life is too short to learn from your mistakes, you must learn from others and one of them is what to consume in order to bring health and well being to the body that you inhabit.

Aruyeda according to the 1999 christian handbook of alternative medicine tend to go into 2 schools of thought 1 of which could be beneficial the other would not be.\n1. Aruvedic Medicine to some is basically new age energy medicine pending your personal convictions this could conflict with your religious preference such as mentions of chanelling energy or taking substances based on your personal "energy" or "chi"\n2. Aruvedic medicines has been helpfull in finding some actually beneficial herbs and alternative medicines however like the prior two answers these tend to be unregulated in real dosages so it becomes a random chance thing even if the substance works. Especially when combined with regular pharmaceuticals

Many modern medicines had their origin in medicinal plants. Examples include aspirin from willow bark (Salix spp.), digitalis from foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), and vinblastine from Madagascar periwinkle (Vinca rosea) for the treatment of childhood leukemia.
