THE POWER OF HERBAL ACTIONS
Naturopaths have access to an extensive range of liquid herbs. Each has its own array of herbal actions that support the whole body; making liquid herbal medicines one of the most effective tools in a Naturopath’s treatment protocols.
Herbal actions are the specific medicinal property or quality of a plant. It refers to the many effects that a plant can have on the body. Many plants possess multiple synergistic properties, increasing their overall effectiveness when combined.
For example,, Withanina somnifera (commonly known as Ashwagandha) is a botanical powerhouse with several key actions:
Tonic: A substance that improves the tone, vigour, and function of the whole body.
Adaptogen: A substance which increases the body’s resistance to physical, environmental, or biological stressors and promotes normal physiological function.
Sedative (mild): A substance which reduces activity, particularly in the nervous system and decreases nervous tension. It may alleviate pain and spasm and induce sleep.
Anti-inflammatory: A substance which reduces inflammation.
Immune modulating: A substance which modulates and balances the activity of the immune system.
Anti-anaemic: A substance which prevents or helps correct anaemia.

· Improve general wellbeing and improve stamina
