It seems that the use of herbal\u00a0supplements<\/a>\u00a0is becoming more and more popular with every passing day. The range of issues you can effectively treat with them is very wide, and usually with a much lower impact on the rest of your body than chemical, manufactured treatments.<\/p>\n

Of course, as with any sort of medicine, you should consult with a qualified professional, but this article will serve as a quick-reference list for some of the most common herbal\u00a0supplements<\/a>, and what they are used for.<\/p>\n

Black Cohosh<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a very common herb,\u00a0Black Cohosh<\/a>\u00a0is primarily used for menstrual-cycle issues, such and painful menstruation and estrogen replacement therapy at\u00a0menopause<\/a>, as it has an effect which is similar to estrogen.<\/p>\n

Cayenne<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 not as widely known as an herbal supplement, but certainly widely used as a spice,\u00a0Cayenne<\/a>\u00a0pepper has been reported to help with a variety of problems, most notably most digestive issues, and circulatory issues.<\/p>\n

Chamomile<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 perhaps one of the most widely used of all herbal treatments,\u00a0Chamomile<\/a>\u00a0is used primarily as a relaxing tea, to help with pain and fatigue and help lull the user into sleep. However, it is also anti-inflammatory, can help increase the rate of healing, and can help reduce swelling.<\/p>\n

Cranberry \u2013 a fairly widely used remedy for bladder and\u00a0urinary tract infections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Echinacea<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 an incredibly widely-used supplement, most often taken to treat the\u00a0common cold<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0flu<\/a>, and many symptoms associated with them, such as cough,\u00a0sore throat<\/a>, and fevers. However, it is also a good general immune-system booster.<\/p>\n

Evening Primrose<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 fairly commonly used oil-supplement most often taken to treat\u00a0arthritis<\/a>,\u00a0eczema<\/a>,\u00a0PMS<\/a>, cardiovascular problems, and even hyperactivity in children.<\/p>\n

Feverfew<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 an herbal supplement most often used as a pain-reliever, especially for\u00a0migraine<\/a>\u00a0headaches<\/a>\u00a0and menstrual cramps. Also used for the treatment of\u00a0colds<\/a>,\u00a0asthma<\/a>,\u00a0psoriasis<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0eczema<\/a>,\u00a0toothaches<\/a>, and\u00a0muscle pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garlic \u2013 widely used as both spice and supplement, Garlic has a wide range of benefits. It is most often used for cardiovascular issues like\u00a0high cholesterol<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0arteriosclerosis<\/a>, but also as a powerful\u00a0immune system<\/a>\u00a0booster, to reduce blood\u00a0sugar levels<\/a>, and to help relieve menstrual pain.<\/p>\n

Ginger<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a lesser-known as an herbal supplement, but highly useful; it is wonderful for combating nausea, especially\u00a0morning sickness<\/a>. It is also an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic, as well as reportedly being good to combat\u00a0motion sickness<\/a>(some studies say it even works better than Dramamine for this). Those taking it to combat\u00a0morning sickness<\/a>, however, should be cautious, as some sources list is as a possible abortifacient if taken in very large quantities (as in, an excess of 15 or more cups of tea a day).<\/p>\n

Gingko Biloba \u2013 widely used and most commonly known as a supplement to\u00a0improve memory<\/a>. It also has\u00a0antioxidant<\/a>\u00a0and anti-inflammatory properties, and increases metabolism efficiency.<\/p>\n

Ginseng<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 widely used as an anti-stress treatment, as well as a stamina and energy booster. It also has anti-inflammatory and possible\u00a0aphrodisiac<\/a>\u00a0qualities.<\/p>\n

Goldenseal<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 popular for its immune-system boosting and antiseptic qualities, this supplement is also often used to treat\u00a0colds<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0flu<\/a>. It can also be used to treat irregular menstruation,\u00a0diarrhea<\/a>\u00a0and other digestive issues, and\u00a0poor circulation<\/a>. It is also popular for supposedly obscuring illegal drugs in urine tests, but this usage is questionable at best in its efficacy.<\/p>\n

Grape Seed<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a lesser-known supplement right now, but it is swiftly gaining popularity. It has been reported to help with a wide variety of skin conditions,\u00a0arthritis<\/a>, some\u00a0allergies<\/a>, and\u00a0varicose veins<\/a>; as well as having anti-inflammatory and potentially anticancer properties.<\/p>\n

Green Tea<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 widely used, this herb is most useful to combat fatigue, lower cholesterol and generally improve cardiovascular health, and help in\u00a0weight loss<\/a>. It may also help prevent tooth and gum decay, and there is some evidence that it may help against certain forms of cancer.<\/p>\n

Hawthorn \u2013 this supplement is useful in treating nearly any heart or cardiovascular ailment, as well as helping against\u00a0insomnia<\/a>, miscarriages, and to strengthen muscles.<\/p>\n

Kava<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 also known as KavaKava. Most often used to treat anxiety, stress and\u00a0nervous tension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Licorice<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a popular herb that is gaining popularity as a health supplement, it is most often used to treat coughs and other throat complaints, and digestive issues.<\/p>\n

Milk Thistle<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 often used to help protect the liver, and stimulate regeneration from liver damage.<\/p>\n

St. John\u2019s Wort \u2013 a common supplement used to treat depression and anxiety. Also useful for upset stomach and\u00a0insomnia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uva Ursi<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 also gaining popularity for help in treating bladder and\u00a0urinary tract infections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valerian<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 very popular to help aid in sleeping; also useful to alleviate\u00a0muscle spasms<\/a>.<\/p>\n
