Many Herbs contain powerful ingredients, that if used correctly , can help heal the body, prevent so many diseases. The Pharmaceutical industry was originally based upon the ability to isolate these ingredients and make them in a purer form. Herbalists and the Traditional Healers , however contend that nature provides other ingredients in the same herbs to balance the more powerful ingredients, these other components, though they may be less potent, may help to act as buffers, synergists, or counterbalances working in harmony with the more powerful ingredients provided by nature. (The whole is better than part.)
