While "herbalists" can and do fix some complaints most of them have little or no real training. An the gullible public will believe anything.
Many of the herbal medicines are absolute b/s
Liquid extract of lions breath .....great stuff. A daily dose will cure cancer dandruff, lumbago, sciatica,ingrown toenails,insomnia,drowsiness,loss of libido,bad breath and baldness. Unforunately it does not cure gout.
And as n.s points out, just because something is "natural" does not make it good safe or wholesome. Yet the public belivies that "Natural medicine" is safe etc.
Try cyanide, radiation, as NS has mentioned arsenic, Box jelly fish venom....allstraight out of nature. Water a pure natural substance, try breathing it in as liquid form ! Sea salt, eat it by the handful !
Mind you Im not saying that conventional traditional medication is safe in every case either, but at least take some educated professional advise and dont believe all the mumbo jumbo for which the internet is famed
Come to thin about it, the same thing applies to investment adviced as wells
