We firmly believe that herbs are nature’s medicines, which means just like modern-day pharmaceuticals, they can heal or treat symptoms we may be experiencing. Now, we aren’t saying you should never talk to a doctor again, we’re just saying there are some major health benefits to a number of herbs that we are familiar with, but just like any other medicine we take, there are side effects too. Today we’re looking at some of the most common herbs and what they can do for you.

Cinnamon 

Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory effects, lowering your risk of disease. It can also reduce blood sugar levels, can prevent bacterial and fungal infections, and studies have indicated that cinnamon could have protective effects against cancer. So the next time you brew a cup of tea, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. 

Garlic 

If you’re a garlic girl, you’ll be happy to know that garlic is highly nutritious and can do things like protect a person against the common cold, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol, both of which lower your risk of heart disease. Garlic can also help detoxify heavy metals in the body, improve bone health, and add a ton of flavor to any dish. Okay, that last one doesn’t have anything to do with health but tell us we’re wrong.

Oregano 

We’re going to tell you this straightforward, no matter how you take opt to take oregano, it’s going to taste like pizza and that’s awesome. Oregano has been used for thousands of years to reduce inflammation, fight bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections, and even fight allergies. You can even purchase oregano capsules to take orally or oregano oil that you’ll simply dilute with water and drink with a meal.

Cilantro 

Assuming it doesn’t taste like soap to you, cilantro can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, lower blood sugar levels, boost heart health, promote skin health, and support your digestion. So the next time you’re having street tacos, load up on the fresh cilantro. 

Licorice Root 

Bear with us on this one because most people don’t love the taste of licorice root, but it can be used to reduce acid reflux and heartburn, regulate cortisol levels, boost immunity, and fight infections. 

Mint 

Few things are better than the smell of mint protruding from your garden, and mint is also great for digestion, relieving headache pain, easing nausea, and relieving respiratory conditions like chronic cough or asthma.
