Which herbs help which ailments?

Conditions are listed by Herbal name from the Safety guidelines per the Botanical Safety Handbook; available through the American Botanical Council. I also have on My Ailments-Prevention and Herbal treatment page a A-Z listing.

The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.  Its prime function is to transport blood throughout the body.  Imbalances in the circulatory system can affect all other systems of the body but most often affect the nervous, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems.  The names for the herbal combinations are chosen based on the properties of the key herbs in the formula.

The digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal and includes the mouth and salivary glands, the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine.  Its prime function is to digest food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste through the bowel.  Imbalances in the digestive system often affect the circulatory system as unwanted toxins are absorbed and bowel elimination is slowed.  The names for the herbal combinations are chosen based on the properties of the key herbs in the formula.

The glandular system is made up of the hormone producing organs of the body, including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal and pancreas.  These glands perform a myriad of regulatory functions in the body, including temperature control and metabolic rate.  Herbalists use herbs rich in trace minerals to supplement the production of hormones and enhance the efficiency of the glandular system.
