Herbal RemediesHerbal remedies have been used for thousands of years and continue to be used throughout the world. There is much anecdotal and documented evidence of their effectiveness.Chaste tree (Agnus Castus) has been used, for at least 2,500 years, for its beneficial affect on the female hormonal system. The Greek physician Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) wrote: "If blood flows from the womb, let the woman drink dark wine in which the leaves of the chaste tree have been steeped." Although not a native plant of the UK, records indicate that it was in use here by 1500, it's mentioned in Gerard's herb in the 17th century. However, until recent years little was written in UK herb books about Agnus Castus, it is in the rest of Europe that the herb has had the most use over the past century. Only in the last ten years has it become popular again in the UK and in America. Red Clover has a long history of use. In China and Russia, red clover was used for respiratory infections and congestion, for coughs, wound healing, and water retention. Today, red clover is being studied for its possible benefits to those suffering from many health problems and for its usefulness during the menopause. Studies have shown that red clover contains a high concentration of phytoestrogens, which mimic the action of female hormones in the body. The Ginkgo Biloba tree is the world's oldest living tree, a species whose existence can be traced back over 250 million years. Ginkgo Biloba leaf extracts have been shown to have a wide range of biological activities. One of the world's best studied herbs, hundreds of scientific studies have been published documenting its complex and varied effects. Research suggests that ginkgo Biloba is helpful for people with dementia, long-term supplementation has been shown to improve mental efficiency. Alzheimer's and other types of dementia and cognitive deficiency have also been shown to benefit from ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo Biloba's is said to improve blood flow and may also be useful for healthy circulation Herbal remedies are usually made from the whole plant in order to produce the most effective remedies.
