THE FDA IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT DEALS WITH MEDICINE AND SUPPLEMENTS
They do not want people to know about herbal and natural remedies.

THEY WANT TO LIMIT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NATURAL REMEDIES.
They do this for our safety, as some plants are bad for health.

IN SOME SITUATIONS, OTC MAY BE A BETTER OPTION.
They can clear a wider range of ailments and may take into effect quicker.

HOWEVER, HERBAL REMEDIES ARE ALSO A GOOD OPTION IN SOME CASES.
THEY CAN BE MORE RELAXING, TASTE BETTER, AND BE HEALTHIER.
IN CONCLUSION
HERBS HAVE BEEN USED IN THOUSANDS OF WAYS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
But nowadays, we do not think much of herbs.
THOUGH MANY PEOPLE DO NOT OFTEN THINK OF THEM,
HERBS CAN BE VERY HEALTHY AND RELAXING.
HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY PEOPLE WILL HAVE JUST
AS MUCH USE FOR HERBS AS THEY DID IN THE PAST.
