By Eugenia Dickerson


When someone has a health problem, they will do almost anything to find some relief. By researching a herb directory, they may find solutions to their problems, as herbs have been proven to help alleviate a great number of conditions. These types of plants are known as healing herbs, and are a very healthy alternative to pharmaceutical medications. People who want to avoid the side-effects of conventional medicines could try using herbs instead.

Aloe is a substance that is very well known as it is now found in many products, and comes from the Aloe vera plant. The gel that its leaves produce is a wonderful healer for many skin conditions, including sunburns, ulcers, canker sores and eczema. Ginger is a common product in many households, and is liked for its natural anti-inflammatory effects. It can treat congestion and flu, and calms upset stomachs.

There are also a number of other herbs that are good for a human's digestive tract. Indigestion can be soothed with chamomile, fennel, peppermint and lemon balm. Fennel is especially useful as a remedy for morning sickness when pregnant, stomach cramps and nausea in general. Fennel is also completely child-friendly, and therefore can be used to treat colic. It is also known to help sore throats and pink eye infections.

The good thing about the herbal treatment is that they are safe since they are naturally found. You will be surprised by how many more health problems you can remedy with these naturally occurring plants. Most of these herbs are used as food. It is therefore advised that you spend your time to know how to prepare your food using these herbs and secure your health.

One of the best types of foods to spice up with herbs is vegetables. There are so many herbs that go well with them, but basil is a common favorite, especially the sweet basil variety. Italian dishes with zucchini are often made with basil. The trick with this type of herb, however, is that it should be added only at the last minute.

You can also spice your vegetables with herbs like rosemary, sage or parsley. In terms of combinations, you can combine rosemary with garlic because they are of the mint category. Parsley on the other hand can be combined with most other herbs. It must however be chopped nicely for best results. Many people in the US prefer sage as it is also one of mint herbs.

You can easily find these herbs at your nearest grocery store. It is however recommended that you maintain your home garden where you can grow some of these herbs to spice your meals. This last option is the best as it will not just save you on cost but will also guarantee you of fresh supplies whenever you require them. You do not need a big garden for these; you can grow the seeds on flowerbeds or pots using the simple instructions on the package.

You can learn a lot more about herbs from the herb directory. Better still, you can attend herb walks if they are within your location where you can learn from the professionals. You will be surprised to discover how to identify plants and make the best use of them.
