"Well, this is exactly the reason why many herbs have multiple medical
indications. Plants are not refined, single drugs, but a package of many
chemical compounds which work together to make that unique plant
viable. When one prescribes a whole herb extract, a whole series of
extracted components are being given to the patient, not one. Luckily,
most of these plant compounds are synergistic and will often improve the
medicinal values of the complete plant extract as a remedy. As is the
nature of the beast, that extract can have multiple uses and influences
on varied metabolic functions."
Nature provides its own balance, When you extract a chemical or
component you have lost that balance. This is why there are so few
side-effects from whole herb products as compared to
pharmaceuticals. Whatever you need to balance the effects is already
contained in that same plant. This has been known for centuries, but
they never ever learn.
Thank you for all the good info on pokeweed. It grows wild around here
but I was unable to find any useful information about it.
