Herbs have been used for tens of thousands of years to cure all kinds of aches, pains and ailments.  Just like people did a long time ago, you can safely treat a wide variety of things with herbs or herbal extracts you can find in your backyard, at health food stores or online.  Here is a list of common herbs used to remedy everything from burns to headaches.

Aloe Vera is perhaps best known for being an excellent sunburn treatment with superb skin revitalizing properties.  Some of its lesser-known uses include aiding the digestive system and maintaining energy levels.  It is also commonly taken as a vitamin and mineral supplement because it is chock full of great vitamins that you need.  Aloe is typical sold in gel form for use on skin and sunburns and in a drinkable form for use as a dietary supplement.

Hawthorn berry is well known for the positive effects it has on the circulatory system and heart. This berry is packed with vitamin C and vitamin B and is typically taken over a lengthy period to reap all of the great benefits it has to offer.  Most health food stores offer it in liquid and capsule form though the body much more easily absorbs the liquid form.
