Plants are the essence of existence of all animal life. They provide both oxygen and food. It is towards these plants that the early man turned when an ailment came up. They found cure for almost all known diseases of the time in herbs. At a time when allopathic medicine is proving to be more detrimental than helpful, more and more people are looking at herbalism as an answer to their ailments.
