When I walk into a pharmacy, along with vitamins and medicine, there are racks of herbs and spices and roots and leaves and bark and whatever you call thems that claim to have some sort of health or healing benefit. I think ginseng was probably the first one I heard of. Many of the diet pills and rapid weight loss pills have these exotic asian ingredients in them. Alot of herbal teas have some strange ingredients in them too. I've take Ripped Fuel before which has ginseng, kola nut, guarana and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. It basically feels like a caffien pill but alot more expensive.
Has the US taken these asian plants and blown them way out of proportion? Are the uses of these medicines the same in the US as they are in asia? Do any of you use them and do they actually work? I know it's kind of vague but it's only because there's so many of them and I really don't know much about it or who to trust for information on it.
