Herbs are plants used in medicine. Natural healing has come to denote any type
of natural means used to aid in healing. Although most herbal remedies are from
plants, there are some that are mineral or animal products as well. Herbal
medicine is also called phytotherapy, the science of using herbal remedies to
treat illnesses.
People have been using herbs for hundreds of years to treat all types of illnesses
and symptoms. Throughout history we can find examples from many cultures of
their use of herbal remedies. The ancient Egyptians used herbs in healing and in
ceremonies as well. There are hieroglyphics that depict the use of herbs on
some ancient walls. In ancient China, herbs were an important part of healing
and still are used in traditional Chinese medicine.
