HERBS "A herb is the friend of physicians and the praise of cooks" Emperor Charlemagne
Plants and herbs are among the first things to be placed upon this planet by our creator. Doesn't it make sense they were put here for our needs? Plants and herbs have been used medicinally since the beginning of time. Hippocrates, known as the "Father of Medicine" lived about the fourth century before Christ. He recorded in his writings the use of herbs in the treatment of disease. Herbal remedies have been practiced in many other countries for thousands of years. Many herbs contain substances that have effect on the whole of man, the blood, the metabolism and all the processes that are vital to life. Over time chemists have tried to improve on nature by taking what they believe to be the principal agent of the herb and making a medicine from it. But what they have found is that it no longer has the same effect nor do they give the same results as home remedies prepared according to the principals, where the whole herb or the part containing the healing agents is used either boiled, infused, or cold water is added. When herbs are used properly they are safe, gentle, and have no side effects. Herbs are also used in flavoring our foods from vegetables to breads to soups, salads, desserts and beverages. Herbs also provide fragrance for our homes and gardens. Follow the Herb Defined link to the left for a description of many of the widely used herbs naming their uses.
