Herbalism is the use of plants as medicines for healing. Its traditions are as old as mankind itself and, until the eighteenth century, it was used as the most common form of medical treatment in Europe and North America. Today, in tribal cultures and among countries with Eastern traditions, such as China and India, medicinal herbs are still widely used. In more conventional medicine, pharmaceutical companies and doctors rely on plants as the basis of many drugs. The age-old practice of using plant medicine to heal the body, mind, and spirit is part of our heritage. Reclaim your heritage with the power of Healing Herbs.
