December 15th, 2009UncategorizedSalma Hayek is about to take over the world - and we don't say that just because she's a movie star and has been busy making babies with her billionaire husband, stealing the spotlight at 30 Rock, and rocking magazine covers (she's this month's InStyle cover girl). You'd think that would be enough to get anyone to take a break, but not our Salma. She's about to add the title of cosmetics magnate to her resume. -

There are many reasons why herbs work, and the main reasons have a lot to do with historical use. The Chinese have been using herbs like ginkgo for thousands of years to stimulate mental alertness. In other parts of the world like Greece, people utilized the herb Queen Anne’s lace as a contraceptive. On the other hand, the Native Americans have been employing the herb Echinacea to combat infections for hundreds of years. If people around the world have been using herbs for medicinal purposes for a very long time, why can’t we benefit from these herbs ourselves? It only makes sense that they are safe and effective to use. In fact, remember that up to 25 percent of concentional prescription drugs sold in pharmacies still come from plants, whether directly or indirectly. You might be surprised to know that Aspirin actually derives from the herb willow bark.
