                        Alteratives are blood cleansing, and help the body to improve metabolic processes and thus work more efficiently absorbing nutrients, and removing wastes.   Examples of herbs include garlic, burdock, echinacea, dandelion, turmeric, holy basil, and yellow dock, plantain, and red clover.  Alterative herbs are best to be taken in small doses over a longer period of time, resulting in whole body wellness of organs and systems.

                        Consult with a Doctor when considering herbs, especially beyond food quantity amounts, to ingest for pain reduction. Herbs, especially in large doses, may interfere with certain medications and affect certain medical conditions. Also, be aware of any contraindications before topical use.
