Common Knowledge:06.How do I know what herbs to take?

 No. Homeopathy can be considered a type of herbal medicine, but it is different from the common practice of taking herbs as supplements.

How do I know what herbs to take?

 Some herbal supplements are best taken long term as nutritional supplements, while others are best taken for short periods of time for a specific desired effect. Along with multivitamin supplements, some people take antioxidants (see rosemary) or herbs that supply essential fatty acidsto supplement their diets. Herbs that are more suitable for short term use include Echinacea to help the body fight off colds and infections. The product label should explain the proper usage ("dose" or "serving") of the herb, and a health care practitioner can help you decide which herbs are right for you.
