Herbs: An alternative treatment for various diseases

Herbs are used according to their specificity, generally those found closest to the environment are used. They are effective, low cost, and are part of the active ingredient in many industrialized medicines.

Herbs have long been used by our ancestors and are known to play an important role in the cure and treatment of some diseases. In some communities, these plants symbolize the only form of treatment for certain pathologies. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the world's population has used some plant to alleviate the symptoms of some disease.

The substances found in herbs that allow the cure or treatment of diseases vary from species to species and are normally related to the plant's defense and the attraction of pollinators. These substances, when they have pharmacological action, give the plant the classification of medicinal.

Among the main substances found with pharmacological action in herbs, we can highlight alkaloids, mucilages, flavonoids, tannins and essential oils. Alkaloids act on the central nervous system and can function as sedatives, anesthetics and analgesics. Mucilages have healing, laxative and expectorant properties, among other functions. Flavonoids are related to anti-inflammatory and anti-hepatotoxic functions, among others. Tannins stand out for their astringent and antimicrobial action. Essential oils, in turn, have bactericidal, healing, analgesic and relaxing properties, among others.
