Herbs Encyclopedia

Herbs Encyclopedia is a FREE application that provides information and details about herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Additionally, the app has a home remedies section which is continually updated.

Given the increased prevalence of herbal medicine, conventional doctors are more willing to assess the benefits of alternative remedies. Some of these herbs may compliment your current medications. It’s important to understand, however, that herbs can even cause serious side effects.

The application contains:

• Lists of herbs, fruits, and vegetables: Names, Description, Used Parts, Nutritional Value, Other Usages, Warnings, Gallery, and others. All information is provided with research and scientific references.

• Home remedy: The updated list of trusted and most known alternative medical treatments (with references).

The app is on its first stage, stay tuned for many premium features coming soon.

• Important: Discuss all herbal medicines and treatment options with your doctor and don’t stop taking prescribed medications unless instructed. Also, keep in mind that complementary medicine isn’t exclusive to herbal supplements. Other complementary approaches like massages or a completely healthy lifestyle.

• Do not self-diagnose ailments: It is very important that people do not self-diagnose any health conditions. Any medication (herbal or otherwise) should be taken under the supervision of a knowledgeable and qualified practitioner.

• Be aware herbal medicine can interact with other medications: Herbal medications and supplements may interact in harmful ways with over-the-counter or prescription medicines you are taking.
  Taking herbal supplements may decrease the effectiveness of other drugs you are taking or may increase the negative side effects.
  If you are considering taking herbal medications it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor about possible side effects and interaction with other medications you are taking.
