The common sense guideline stuck out to me. Common sense seems to be lacking a lot these days. Not sure if any came as a surprise but I really never thought of the name being so important. So I guess it was a lightbulb moment. Make sure the name is correct because even just a little difference in the plant can cause very different results.
1. I think the most important rule to follow is to research whatever herb you’re interested in. It’s just plain reckless to ingest or topically use something without fully understanding what it’s pros and cons are.
2. I was a little surprised that some herbs have “bandwagons” but I guess with all of the health trends out there it only makes sense that herbalism and certain herbs should fall into that category.
I didn’t find any of the guidelines out of the ordinary; pretty much a common-sense approach. Whether it’s a herbal remedy or a pharmaceutical pill I’ve always researched and opted for a second opinion. If I were allowed to sue the medical industry in Canada for misdiagnosis I’d be one rich lady.
Tough question to answer, as they all seem important. I’m going to choose the first, though, as doing the research well may cover many of the other guidelines.
None really surprised me, but I guess I hadn’t really thought about what age is safe to begin giving herbs, so number 6 had the most “new” information for me.
I think the most important rule is the first one: research the herb you want to use properly!
None of the other rules really surprised me – they all make perfect sense.
1. Before you take any herb, read up on it
2. Respect your individuality
3. Consult your health care provider
4.Think twice before jumping on a herbs bandwagon
5.Don’t give herbal remedies to children under age 2
6.If you are pregnant or nursing, use herbs with caution
7. Don’t take herb identity for granted
8. Use your common sense
I will print these out and put them in the front of my folder.
Not to jump on bandwagons and to remember to research
