Most of you that have worked with me know that I am mainly a Mineral herbalist and not so much a Vitamin herbalist. This list gets you started to know that there are choices in dealing with ailments of the body.I work with herbs most of the time, and for each one of these ailments you can help your body with herbs, but you can also help your body help itself with vitamins and minerals as long as they are a good quality of supplement. Our bodies do use a lot of minerals on a daily basis, so you need to make sure you are getting enough for your body to be able to function in the capacity that you are demanding of it.
