How long does it take for herbal medicine to be effective?

The Summary

To cure, relieve, or prevent an illness, it is in many cases entirely possible to use plants and their natural benefits. This is called phytotherapy . But how long does this alternative medicine take to be effective? We will try to shed some light on this subject! Herbal cures will soon hold no secrets for you!

What is herbal medicine?

If we had to sum it up in one sentence, herbal medicine is the practice of treating with plants. This medicine, recognized as both conventional and allopathic, is based on the use of plants and their extracts. Used for over 6,000 years, it is the oldest medicine used by humans.

Although its long-term effectiveness remains the subject of much debate, herbal medicine is now universally recognized for its short-term benefits.

How long does it take for herbal medicine to be effective?

Herbal cures generally last 21 days. However, it's perfectly possible to follow a cure for just a few days, if your symptoms seem less severe, for example. Why 21 days? Well, that's generally how long it takes for your cells to regenerate. It's therefore the ideal length of time to act as a deep treatment on your organs.

During your treatment, you can choose to use a single plant for a given condition. Or you can choose to use several plants for the same purpose to enhance their effectiveness. Be careful, however, not to take too many plants at once, or this could cause harmful effects on your body. We recommend spreading your intake as much as possible between breakfast and dinner, or even lunch.

So how long does it take for herbal medicine to be effective? It all depends on the condition you're trying to treat!
