Medicinal plants contain complex chemicals that directly influence our metabolism yet carry few sides effects because their chemistry has evolved alongside ours over millenia. For instance, the humble dandelion leaf is an excellent diuretic. Conventional diuretics can deplete potassium levels in the body and as heart muscle relies on good levels of potassium to beat rhythmically, this mineral often has to be supplemented artificially. However, Nature has it all worked out already and dandelion leaves are extremely rich in natural potassium safeguarding the heart against their diuretic effects.
