NATURE NEVER DID BETRAY THE HEART THAT LOVED HER
-WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

CHINESE

The Chinese have practiced herbal use for over 5000 years. There is one Chinese medical text written in 2700 BC, which thirteen herbal prescriptions were listed. The Chinese are noted for their knowledge and use of ginseng. Many Chinese believe regular use of this herb prolongs life.

GREEKS

Hypocrites, "the father of medical literature", was so far as we know, the first man to practice medicine, as an art. Hypocrites believed and taught, that in nature there was strength to avoid disease. Often, Hypocrites used diet and herbs as the basis of treatment.

ROMANS

The medical inheritance of ancient Egypt passed to Greece, then to Rome. The Roman empire used herbal remedies quite extensively. For example, Mandrake herb was used in Roman times as an anesthetic.

PRESENT DAY

Herbalists today, believe and seek to help people build their good health with natural sources. Herbs are considered to be food rather than medicine because they're complete, all-natural and pure, as nature intended. When herbs are taken, the body starts to be cleansed, purifying itself. Unlike chemically-synthesized, highly concentrated drugs that can produce many side effects, herbs can realign the body's defenses, helping it to heal itself without any side effects. Herbs do not produce instant miracle cures, but rather offer a way to put the body in tune with nature.
