Herbals & Supplements
A natural alternative for a healthy lifestyle

In this section on Herbals  & Supplements, we will not get into all the talk about herbals & supplements being around for centuries and how the medical profession still doesn't fully recognize the importance that herbals &  supplementation can provide in "preventative medicine".  We will cover the proclaimed benefits of different herbals and allow you to decide about your personal choice to supplement or not to supplement.  The information contained in these articles is meant for information only and is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any of the herbals &  supplements mentioned in any of the articles.  You are advised to consult with your physician or health care professional before you start taking herbals &  supplements.  With the "legalese" out of the way, let's get on with it!

At the mention of Chamomile, many of us dream of leisurely sipping hot tea, curled up in our comfortable PJ's, reading our favorite book in front of a roaring fire.  Right – Who has time for that?!  As women, we find ourselves juggling the stresses of family and career everyday.  So who has time to wind down after a busy day?  

We forget that stress is the foundation for many ailments.  So if we could eliminate some of the stress in our life (that would be a miracle in itself), we can live a healthier more productive life.  If you do not have the time to slowdown after a hectic day, consider taking some Chamomile towards the end of the night to help you relax.  Chamomile has been used for many years as a soother or a tranquilizer to ease the nervous system.  It was also found to contain muscle relaxing properties and may be used as a digestive aid.  Many women have used Chamomile to help ease some of the cramping from monthly menstrual periods.  If you really want to pamper yourself, try adding Chamomile to your herbal bath and soak your stresses away.

Chamomile has very few, if any, known side effects.  However, if you have any allergic reaction to ragweed pollen or have any sensitivity to certain drugs or herbals, please check with your doctor before using this herb.  Always used as directed and report any side effects to your doctor.
