Common Ailment and Herbal Remedies Many people are really into herbs these days. I must confess I LOVE HERBS. There are so many wonderful herbal remedies out there it is just to hard to resist the temptation to really see if herbs work. I started my journey into alternative healing first with herbs. I was captivated by them. I have worked up a little bit of common ailments and herbs used to treat them. Although there are many similarities between Herbs and Homeopathics you must be careful when combining the 2 therapies. It can be done  but not without homeopathic consultation. And as always, before you begin diving into the herbs and filling up the basket at the local pharamacy, make sure non of the herbs conflict with any allopathic medications you may be taking. If you chose to ween from the allopathic medications consult a homeopath for guidance. Enjoy the information.
