One of the most important pieces of the puzzle is the endocrine system, which controls the release of various hormones that regulate our everyday bodily functions. When we talk about hormone balance, we usually associate it with women’s health, but maintaining optimal levels of the various hormones is just as important for men. Our endocrine system is involved in everything from muscle regeneration and sexual health, to digestion and sleep.
I don’t ever remember being given herbal remedies when I was growing up. Instead, it was the dreaded pink Pepto Bismol, or aspirin, or the new kid on the block, Tylenol.

Healing plants of all varieties can also be bought at local nurseries, swap meetups, garage sales, online stores, or even foraged in the wild and transplanted into your own garden.

We know how dangerous it is to be taking multiple prescription drugs, but we think nothing of chugging down handfuls of herbal supplements on a daily basis for months, or even years, at a time. Yes, herbs are food, but just like certain foods have contraindications for people, so do herbs, and an easy-does-it approach always works best.
