People have used herbs for thousands of years, for a wide variety of purposes, including for cooking, perfumes, currency, disinfectants and of course medicinal remedies.
Ancient Herb Garden
You may well have a ceramic or glass jar and/or a herb window box in your kitchen full of herbs from your herb garden. Cookery books nowadays have a myriad of recipes that include herbs.
Commercial Herbs Growing In Pots
People over time have learned to use herbs from ancient chroniclers. Hippocrates, the famous Greek doctor for example, regularly used herbal remedies, as did the Druids long before the Romans invaded England.
In the Middle Ages monks in Europe grew their own herbs and in the 17th century Nicholas Culpeper published a book showing ordinary people how to prepare their own medicinal herbal remedies.
The value of using herbs for medicinal purposes has long been proven. Drinking herbal tea for example, is one of the most effective ways to treat a variety of common ailments, such as insomnia and indigestion.
