Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an Herbal Supplement?
An herbal supplement typically consists of one or more herbs processed into a readily consumable form, such as capsules, tablets, or teas. These supplements are chosen for their naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and other active constituents, which can be used to support various aspects of health and well-being.
Why Consider Herbal Supplements?
Herbal supplements have a long history of traditional use in various cultures all over the world. They are often sought out by individuals who seek to maintain general well-being through more natural means. Many herbs have been traditionally valued for their supportive qualities in everyday wellness.
When considering an herbal supplement, it’s important to keep in mind that scientific research into their effects is ongoing, and results may vary from person to person. It’s always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating new supplements into your daily routine.
Should I consult a physician before I try an herbal supplement?
Yes, yes, yes. You should always consult a physician or a health care professional. They will help you to determine whether or not the supplement will give you the support that you are seeking. Our caution is that not all physicians are familiar with naturopathic or homeopathic supplements. Herbal supplements have a very long history of supporting health and well-being.
What is special about Grandma’s Herbs?
Grandma’s Herbs is dedicated to finding the best sources of the herbs that we use in our formulas. We also try to use the herbs in their natural state whenever possible. We NEVER use any fillers or substandard herbal raw materials. Herbs are generally just the leaves, bark, stem, flower or fruit of a plant. Each part has its own set of constituents or properties. We screen the vendors carefully so that the herbs that we use are as fresh and pure as possible. We believe that our formulas are superior because of all the research that we do to not only develop the formula but also find the very best sources for each of the herbs in our herbal formulas. It is our goal to create combinations or formulas that are effective because each of the herbs in the formula enhances all of the others synergistically.
Can I take herbal supplements as a daily maintenance regimen?
This is a really good question. Some herbal formulas are designed to be part of a daily maintenance program while others are designed for short term use. As an example, Grandma’s Herbs Daily Drive or Daily Diva are definitely for daily supplementation, Energy and Schizam also fall within that category. On the other hand, there are products that should only be taken while you are cleansing.
We should also mention that supplements like SuperLax, or Herbal Colon Cleanser & Tonic can be used either way. They are good as a part of a health and well-being maintenance regimen or for short term use.
The answer to this is a resounding NO!
Can it be harmful to take both herbal supplements and prescription drugs at the same time?
Yes! Always seek the council of your health care provider or a pharmacist with knowledge of the interactions before taking any supplements.
