What is a herbal supplement and how does it work?

If you’re committed to taking care of yourself by eating healthy foods and exercising, there are certain supplements that are still beneficial. For example, herbal supplements such as ashwagandha are popular among young adults to their health benefits. It helps to support a healthy response to inflammation and promotes restful sleep. In this article, we’ll explain exactly what herbal supplements are and how they work. Let’s get started. 

What is a herbal supplement?

Herbal supplements are a type of dietary supplement containing one or more herbs and are used to support health and promote wellbeing. 

There are thousands of plant species that grow all over the world with medicinal benefits because they contain active ingredients that have a direct impact on the body. They are commonly used in both herbal and conventional medicine and offer benefits that pharmaceutical drugs often lack, helping to combat illness and support the body's efforts to regain good health.

Our herbal formulas consist of well-studied herbs that are known to be effective with a good safety profile. Currently, we focus on formulas that can support sleep, stress, digestion and improve energy levels.

How do herbal supplements work?

One of the most common ways of classifying medicinal plants is to identify their actions, for example, whether they are sedative, antiseptic, or diuretic, and the degree to which they affect different body systems. Herbs often have a pronounced action on a particular body system. We currently focus on herbs that can help support our nervous system, endocrine glands, and digestive system.

Nervous system

Nervines such as passionflower, and relaxants such as lemon balm calm the nervous system. They are known for their ability to restore balance and restfulness in the body.

Bitters such as peppermint stimulate the secretion of digestive juices by the stomach and intestines. Carminatives such as sage, anise and coriander relieve wind and griping pain. Cholagogues such as rosemary improve the flow of bile into the intestines. Antispasmodics such as sage and oregano can relieve abdominal cramps. Flatulence such as anise and chamomile can help to pass excess gas and improve bloating. Our digestive herbal formula is a blend of all mentioned herbs that can aid digestion.
