Herbs have traditionally been used to assist a person to come back to a healthy state of well being. Individual herbs, specifically prescribed for a particular situation may assist the body to come back into balance, thereby allowing a healthy homeostasis to be reinstated as nature intended. The herbalist looks to the whole person, their values and attitudes as well as their circumstances and physical condition along with other aspects of their individuality. This is in marked contrast to the allopathic medicine approach.
Below you will find an example of selected herbs for a particular condition. Herbal support can take a variety of forms and combinations, so it is vital that each person consult directly with a qualified holistic practitioner to gain the full benefit of immunity and health building support.
Chest infections and degenerative conditions were of concern to all Herbalists throughout history and, for most of the middle ages, they had to deal with Tuberculosis as well which left many people with a great deal of serious lung damage.
As a result there are very many useful herbs which are capable of improving lung function and slowing down the progressive damage that is a feature of many conditions like silicosis and other dust diseases.
In modern times, smoking of course has become the main cause of lung disease as well as being involved in cases where other infections or toxins have played a part in a particular patients emphysema.
I do make up a specific Emphysema mix which supports the muscular efficiency of the lungs as well as the heart which is put under strain with the condition . It also has ingredients which attempt to reverse some of the scarring which is a feature of the condition and supports the health of the mucosal lining of the lungs as well.
The Emphysema support mix includes:- Elecampagne, Nettle, Cactus, Hawthorn, Elecampane, Golden Seal, Yarrow, Oats (tincture), Liquorice and Rosehips as well as the Bach Flowers Vervain, Olive, and Impatiens.
Virtually all of my Emphysema patients benefit from this formula as an ongoing supplement and notice improvements in energy levels and ease of breathing within the first week or 10 days of starting on the herbs.
