MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. -- This past year and a half came with plenty of its own hurdles on top of unique military challenges from deployments, family separations, long hours and missile field tours. Yet, stress doesn't always cause mental health issues because resilience, social support and coping skills can help us manage it. When one does have prolonged stress, anxiety or depression, what resources are available to military members and their families?

Components of these medicinal plants—leaves, bark, stems, roots, seeds, and flowers—are used to create herbal remedies. Healing herbs continue to be popular.

Medicinal herbs can be helpful when used as a complementary therapy, but they aren't cures for all that ails you. Many have risks and side effects, and herbal remedies are not currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine their safety or efficacy.  It's important to seek treatment from a healthcare professional, as pain, disease, and infections can progress and may lead to complications if not properly tre...
