Herbs – briefly
Herbs are leaves or roots that can be used to make tea or other infusions. This site distinguishes between herbs, which are used for tea and for medicine, and spices, which flavor food. This distinction may be arbitrary, since you can also add herbs to food.
Herbs nourish your body with essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fatty acids, and phytochemicals. Some herbs can prompt you and your body to release toxins. These properties can depend on the soil where they were grown and the batch of the harvest. Their utility for you depends on your individual deficiencies of specific minerals and vitamins. Many herbs work for some people, but not for others. No herbs work for everybody. Nobody knows why. If you are sick, see a doctor.
One possible reason to make herbal tea is to improve digestion. Good health begins with optimal digestion. What is optimal digestion? It begins with an absence of constipation, diarrhea, stomach pains, and excess gas. It continues with absorption and assimilation of the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins from your food into your blood, tissues, organs, and bones.
This article includes a table of herbs and plants, their botanical names, and descriptions, and also details by herb or plant. When buying herbs, I suggest to try to get to know the supplier and the source personally . Some herbs, even grown organically, can be contaminated with heavy metals, fungus, or other contaminants.
There are many excellent reference books about herbs and their possible benefits for you. Be aware that the authors mostly describe what works for them or what they have observed works for others. Again, the fact that something works for someone else does not mean that it works for you.
None of this information is intended to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any disease.
Table of common herbs and their uses
This is a list of herbs that I have tried. I do not use them regularly, but occasionally in teas. They may or may not work for you. Look for good quality. This begins by knowing your supplier and preferring knowledgeable, local suppliers. Do your own research, and verify. I am not a master herbalist, but merely an armchair amateur.
Nota bene. This is information only. No claims to prevent, treat, or cure any disease are offered.

The therapeutic use of herbs and plants, herbal medicine, is among the oldest of medical practices. Combinations of herbs include the Hoxsey and Essiac blends. Hoxsey’s story is documented in this ninety-six minute video here. René Caisse, the Canadian nurse who developed the Essiac blend from an aboriginal recipe, kept the details a secret but transferred it to Resperin Canada on her death. Do your own research. This is not an endorsement of either of these teas. On the other hand, unrelated to herbs, if you have an open mind towards methods that have nver been patented, then read this official online book about unconventional treatments published in 1990.
Beware that the law in most places on earth prohibits making any statements that any herb can be used to “treat” or “cure” any “disease”. I avoid these words. I focus on health and the key concepts of detox and nourishment. U am not a doctor, but merely a healrh coach.
Some herbs can strengthen your eyes. Other herbs can relieve toothaches. Do your own research. Be skeptical and verify. Hundreds of books, called “herbals”, have been published. Thousands of of formal, academic scientific studies have been published. No herbs work for everybody. What works for someone else may or may not work for you. Your blood type may be a factor. It would be better to use caution, for example regarding doses, it would be better to start low and go slow.
One place to start is an excellent online library in Australia called the Soil and Health Library. This library contains online copies of older books about herbal medicine. It is for self-study only. On his website, the librarian, Steve Solomon, states “because the library is domiciled in Australia, it can offer books for free download that are protected by copyright. None of these copyrighted materials are legally owned or controlled by Soil and Health, so permissions cannot be granted for further distribution of anything downloaded from this site. Public domain materials in this library have no copyright protection. The copyright status of all materials is plainly indicated.”
The Soil and Health Library is organized into four sections:
- agriculture (food),
- health,
- personal sovereignty, and
- spiritual freedom.
You can find knowledge in this library that is not easy to find elsewhere. Some of the books in the library have been translated to Dutch, French, and German or are available in these and other original languages.
If you look for them, you can find many excellent sources of information about herbs and how to use them for health. One is Culpeper’s Complete Herbal, originally published in 1652 and summarized here. There are many others.
Dr. Tori Hudson, a naturopathic physician, describes the use of herbs to treat menopause symptoms. She also describes the use of chaste tree extracts to treat pre-menopausal syndrome. For a list of herbal remedies, inlcuding references to publications, read herbs-info.com
Depending on the person, the specific food or herb, and biochemical individuality, certain herbs and foods can gently reduce fever, such as devil’s claw, cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry, chili pepper, and ginger.
To relieve general aches and pains, the following may be useful for some people, though they do not act immediately. How much? It is better to start low and go slow:
- omega-three fatty acids (found in walnuts, hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, cod liver oil, mackerel, sardines, real salmon),
- cannabidiol, also known as CBD (found in hemp extracts),
- silica (found in horsetail),
- ginger,
- kratom, and
- others.
Many older men have an enlarged prostate. To relieve this, some men find that one or all of the following can be useful: stinging nettle, pumpkin seeds, saw palmetto, lycopene (found in tomatoes), and beta-sitosterol (found in walnuts, almonds, and olive oil).
What I would take if …
I am not a doctor, so I am not professionally qualified nor licensed to offer advice of any sort. Nevertheless, the law does not prohibit me from writing what I would take or do myself, if I had pain or problem in a certain part of my body.
