Nature's Medicines
For thousands of years, people have been using
the products of the natural world to help them stay healthy. For example,
North American Indians chewed willow branches for headache. That’s because willow contains salicin, which is
a precursor to the active ingredient in Aspirin®. Like Aspirin®, many drugs are derived
from natural products – usually from plants – by chemically altering, purifying
and concentrating them.
By understanding and regularly using the medicines nature has given us, we can help our body to maintain its health in addition to managing health concerns as they arise. Herbal and supplement
products are nature’s medicines.
For example, St. John’s Wort
contains a natural antidepressant; Echinacea helps to boost your immune
system by counteracting an enzyme that weakens your cells and lets viruses
in; and the leaves of the ancient Ginkgo tree help keep your blood vessels
clear, allowing more blood to flow to your brain and helping impaired
memory, anxiety and depression.
Moms have long said that fish is brain food – and there’s a reason for that. Numerous studies have shown that the DHA/EPA omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can improve focus and concentration, making it easier for kids to learn. Sounds easy enough, but until recently, Canadian parents have faced challenges in their efforts to provide this essential nutrient to their children. Down PDF
