With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine looked at how herbal supplements can improve overall health. According to Yourwellness Magazine, ‘You may not realize it, but your body may not be getting all of the vitamins and nutrients it needs to operate at full potential. If you ever feel fatigued, stressed, have difficulty sleeping, or even abnormal physical changes such as brittle fingernails or dry hair, you may be experiencing a nutrient deficiency. Herbal diet supplements can help improve your physical and mental health as well as your overall wellbeing.’ (http://www.yourwellness.com/2011/06/herbal-diet-supplements-improve-overall-health/#sthash.2xdMDrw4.dpuf)
Yourwellness Magazine outlined six of the most popular herbal diet supplements and their benefits:
