Herbs and other natural therapies can play a vital role in our health and well-being mentally, emotionally, physically and can even help us connect spiritually. Herbs are not only full of concentrated nutrients but also form a direct link with the cosmic consciousness and higher intelligence. Using modern technology we know that all living things have a life force of their own; that every life force has knowledge of it's own purpose. Plants have an inherent ability to channel life energy and to connect with the places in us that need healing. I believe that herbology, being the oldest system of medicine known to mankind, goes far beyond the physical. If we will but embrace what God, the great Creator, the universe, what ever name you want to call it, we can embrace what they used to think of as Magic. We will be able to witness the interaction between body, mind and spirit in healing. But to do so we will need to embrace what it means to return back to nature, or natural.
Nervins are herbs that benefit the Nervous system. Unlike prescriptions which deaden our nerve response, nervine herbs reconnect the nerve channels in the body by mending and soothing the frayed ends and aiding the flow of life force. Allopathic (Western) medicine gives you quick relief from acute pain and is needed at times, but herbs can help to ease and soothe the pain through toning and nourishing the affected area. There is a great overlap among the herbs and what purposes they can be used for, but grouping the herbs helps to give some definition of how and what they do. Most nervines work by feeding and toning the nervous system. Some may stimulate and energize the system by gently increasing energy. Other nervines may aid in sleep and relaxation by gently calming and soothing. It's important to realize that they work in harmony with our body, never dulling or forcing changes.
