Herbs contain dozens or more components that work together to bring about a change or make an effect, and even though sciences identifies one or two of them as the 'active' ingredient, they all work together and i don't like separating out >the 'active' ingredient.

I've also noticed that many 'herbals' work to strengthen specific systems, like the immune system, or help the liver detox. These help the body recover, instead of taking over it's function, or forcing it to do or not do something, as many allopathic medicines do. These herbals (not all...some are for specific limited use) have no bad side effects and can take months to work...they can also be eaten as a regular part of the diet. Many people in this country incorporate garlic in everyday meals; the Chinese add astrogalus to soup bases, and use a lot of garlic and ginger in cooking.
