Herbal supplements need to be organic

Tweet

I am very big into herbal supplements. It is actually what I do full time for a living. I deal with herbal supplements and all of their uses all day every day. Some people call me an herbalist but I don't feel fully comfortable with that title quite yet as my expertise is primarily on herbals for reproductive health. One thing I repeatedly encounter though is the organic vs. non organic debate with herbals. Let me tell you now that they need to be organic otherwise you are playing Russian roulette as to whethe or not the herbals can even do their job! When you use herbals you are relying on the medicinal properties of the plant to aid your health and rwellness. You can't expect a plant that has been subjected to genetic modification and pesticides and growth agents to actually be able to do its job when it's entire composition has been altered. It just can't! It is so frustrating for me because people continue to use horrible quality supplements because they are cheap, then they complain to me that it does not work. How can it?
