What is Herbalism?

It is the most time-tested healing tradition in the world, having evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in disparate regions and diverse cultures. Research into the amazing health benefits of the plant world will certainly continue, but herbal medicine has already benefited millions of people over the centuries. Herbalism can include other natural therapies such as diet and exercise to improve one’s health,
