| | Herbal medicines |
| | Herbal medicine forms just one part of the Ayurvedic system and is used - along with yoga, massage, diet and meditation - to balance the body and increase "prana", or life energy. | | | Like many complementary therapies, herbal medicine aims to be holistic - it aims to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, and to encourage the body to heal itself. | | | Some herbal medicine practitioners work alongside doctors, and some GPs are willing to refer their patients for a herbal medicine consultation. |

| | While herbal medicines are well integrated into the health care systems of many other nations, this is not the case in the U.S. Authoritative information regarding proper use and manufacture of herbal medicines is lacking. | | | The American Herbal Pharmacopoeia® began developing qualitative and therapeutic monographs in 1994, and intends to produce 300 monographs on botanicals, including many of the Ayurvedic, Chinese and Western herbs most frequently used in the United States. | | | Our primary way to accomplish this is through the development of standards of identity, purity, and analysis for botanicals, as well as to critically review traditional and scientific data regarding their efficacy and safety. |

| | Consumer's Guide to Herbal Medicines |
| | Herbals can have adverse effects, drug interactions, contraindications (conditions when they should not be used), and all the other problems that go along with the kinds of medications you are used to. | | | If they were called herbal medicines, they would be considered drugs and would be subject to the rigorous regulation imposed on drugs, which they now escape. | | | However, as recently as a decade ago, doctors in the U.S. were almost totally uninformed on the vast subject of herbal medicines and did not even think of herbal medicines as a method of treatment. |

| | Physicians Desk Reference PDR for Herbal Medicines |
| | Herbal medicine is a major component in all indigenous peoples’ traditional medicine and a common element in Ayurvedic, homeopathic, naturopathic, traditional oriental, and Native American Indian medicine. | | | However, when patients talk about using herbal medicines, primary care physicians often lack the knowledge to provide intelligent advice on their use or misuse. | | | Having a complete herbal reference on hand is now absolutely necessary for doctors and other healers when a patient wants to add herbs--let's say St. John's wort--to his drug regimen. |

| | Unlike Western medicines which target at a specific symptom in isolation, Chinese herbal medicines take a holistic view aiming to improve the functions of the internal main organs and therefore to mitigate and eliminate the illnesses. | | | Since herbs work on our body at a gradual fashion (the function--Yin and Yang, of the organs cannot be balanced instantly), it generally takes time to see the effect unlike a pain killer which works in a very short period of time. | | | Therefore taking herbal medicines can be a long-term process. |
