Herbs have been used to provide a means to improving health and well-being, for flavoring foods and for masking unpleasant odors.
For centuries man has written of their benefits and studying their medicinal values. The Bible refers to the use of herbs, "I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth", and today natural healing (Alternative Medicine) is beginning to rediscover what has long been known about the wealth of benefits provided through the use of herbs.
