Antibiotics are designed to target and kill pathogens. But herbs often work through a much broader strategy.

Many medicinal plants support immune function, promote healthy lymphatic movement, encourage elimination, soothe irritated tissues, and help the body maintain balance while responding to illness.

This is one of the greatest strengths of herbal medicine: supporting the body's innate healing processes rather than focusing on a single mechanism.

Because herbs generally have a gentler antimicrobial effect than antibiotics, they often need to be taken more frequently and consistently to achieve their full benefit.
