By Joyce Campbell


Herbal medicine is as old as time. In ancient time, before modern medicine, herbal remedies were used for the prevention and treatment of diseases and to maintain a healthy life. In other respects, they were used in cooking and cosmetics. Notwithstanding the invention of modern medicine, these practices are still observed by many mostly because of some distinct advantages attached to nature. Chinese herbs Santa Cruz is a good example.

A herb is a part of a plant like the seed, fruit, stem, root, flower or leaf which has some striking effects that can be medicinal or otherwise. All herbs are plants but not all plants are herbal. Medicinal herbs have some properties like killing pathogens (such as bacteria, virus, fungi), boosting the immune system, halting the excessive proliferation of the cell, providing energy to the body and improving human abilities such as vision, mental capability, sexual performance, healing and so on.

Even as the years go by and orthodox medicine continues to improve, it would be difficult to forget the usefulness of herbs. Where modern medicine fails or appears to be slow to work, herbal medicine is usually considered as the last resort. For cases such as sexual health disorders, you can see doctors prescribing herbal medicines.

Sexual activities are often impeded when there is a kind of sexual disorder. Men and women are often victims of this so they both need help. Sexual disorders come in several forms. It can be diagnosed when symptoms such as sexual pain, lack of orgasm, early ejaculation, slow erection, painful menstruation, impotence, and barrenness are noticed.

Some sexual diseases are caused by stress. Stress can cause lots of sexual problems such as a low drive for sex. Other problems caused by stress include emotional disturbance, loss of memory, anxiety, tension, and weight gain. The person affected does not feel at rest and the autonomic nervous system is overburdened.

Many processes that define life depend on the autonomic nervous system to succeed. A very good example is sexual processes. However, when the body needs a more important process to be optimized, it shuts down the less important ones like the sexual process. Herbal medicines have the capacity to alleviate stress. They are also good sedatives thereby calming the nerves of aggressive individuals. When there is the weakness of the muscles and low sex drive, they provide cure so that the muscles become strengthened.

Chinese herbal medicines have a lot of advantages over modern drugs in treating illnesses. As it is from nature, it is body friendly and has very little side effects, if there is any at all. Almost all pharmaceutical drugs have one or two side effects. In treating some diseases with these drugs, some other ones are prescribed with it to help treat the side effects of the main drug, so you will have to take more drugs than is required for your ailment alone. This could also mean more money.

Herbal medicines are therefore safer and less expensive than pharmaceutical drugs. In some continents, herbal medicine is more prevalent than over-the-counter drugs. Their capabilities are well understood and vastly used by medical doctors too who have come to realize their immense potentials.
