Herbalism

Herbalism is the use of the healing properties of herbs to treat the body. Herbs have been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes, and long before their uses were documented, they were passed down through the generations as home remedies. Many herbs have a therapeutic and medicinal value and can be taken in a variety of forms to prevent and cure illnesses and promote health. Herbs can be added to food, made into herbal teas, added to a bath for a therapeutic soak or applied as compresses or creams.
