HERBAL HEALING – Our Creator put herbs upon the earth to maintain and restore our health. Genesis 3:18 “Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.” Revelation 22:2 “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
Herbs along with lifestyle changes get to the cause of health problems. Herbs have three general functions in the body and are compounded according to the state of the individual. (1) Eliminating and detoxifying-eliminative herbs act as laxatives, diuretics, diaphoretics, and blood purifiers; (2) Maintaining-Herbs are used to counteract the physical symptoms, allowing the body to heal itself; (3) Building-Herbs are used to tone the organs (Dr. Carine Hall-Brown, Introduction To Herbal Remedies).
