Super Tasting Herbs For Super Health

Herbs have powerful medicinal properties as well as vast culinary uses. Seasoning your foods with garlic, parsley and oregano might seem like second nature but did you realize that by using these herbs you could be helping your health?

Although herbs are probably much safer than most pills you buy at the pharmacy, they can have side effects and need to be taken cautiously especially in conjunction with other medicines. Some herbs can cause reactions with medicines or render them useless. Therefore, you should consult a health care professional before undertaking any herbal treatment.

That being said, herbs, when taken carefully can often help relieve symptoms without the harsh effects that drugs have on your body. Some of our favorite herbs, that have great healing effects and taste good too are listed below.

To get the the most benefits from garlic, however it should be eaten raw - crush some garlic cloves and let them sit for 10 minutes before you eat them. If taken in excess, garlic may cause bloating, skin irritation, post operative bleeding, upset stomach, occupational asthma and body odor.
