HerbalismNow that herbal supplements are becoming main stream and the number of products that are available has increased, you may wonder just how to pick the right one. Well there may not be a "right one." Herbalism-using herbs for their medicinal and tonic actions- is a system, which utilizes certain inherent or in-born characteristics of each individual as well as the symptoms causing imbalance or disease to determine the right herbs for a particular individual and condition. Every individual has slightly different characteristics, which dictate which herbs will be useful and which one should be avoided. Because herbalism has been used since before doctors and scientists had equipment to look inside the human body, choosing the correct herbs was based on observations that could be seen, touched, tasted, smelled and heard; in other words observations that only needed our five senses to determine. All herbal traditions utilized herbs that were available to them either locally or through trade. The Chinese traded twice as much tea to the English in return for the herb sage, which was not native to them. Many herbalists feel herbs work better when they are from the local area, because they have the same energy qualities and patterns as the people living in that area. Herbal energetics is another concept that helps determine which herb is right, and much time has been devoted to classifying herbs this way.
