Although I don't know very much about herbs, I do study them now and then. I am a firm believer in natural remedies for colds and such.

I take herbal supplements every day and I stay in amazingly good health. The downside is when a finally do get a cold is horrible. It destroys my immune system completely. I suppose its worth it since I am only truly sick maybe twice a year.

Along with the herbal supplements I like to study herbs and what common ailments they are cures for. Compresses and pastes out of common herbs and fruits and berries. It's all quite fascinating. And they are really effective. I've found that chamomile tea and Valerian are just as effective as any chemical sleeping pills.

It's a fascinating subject and I intend to learn more as the years go by.
