I do believe they work. This doesnt mean I give up complelty on modern medicine. As an athlete I do take some pain relievers and such but I do try to relive many of my problems with natural herbal remedies. It may be a placebo, but I personally dont think so. As someone stated earlier I get the same results as other medicine without many of the side effects like drowziness.

The reason I like herbal medicine is becuase my mom has brought me up this way. She is a massage therapist and is knowledgeable in over 15 different massage techniques, as well as reiki. She has been taking herbal medicine for only about 15 years but it has helped her tremendously. She has gotten rid of her asthma, which she had had for her whole life, by taking herbs and receiving massage. I also know first hand the validity of massage as an actual medical practice. I would have never survived sports if it wasn't for massage.
