ANCIENT TRADITIONS

The use of plants as medicine has deep roots in human history, dating back thousands of years. Ancient cultures around the world relied on local flora for healing. The Egyptians documented over 700 medicinal plants in texts like the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BCE). Similarly, Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for over 2,500 years, with texts like the Huangdi Neijing outlining the use of various herbs. Today, while modern medicine often relies on synthetic drugs, the use of herbal remedies is still popular, with many people turning to plants for complementary therapies. The resurgence of interest in natural remedies has sparked renewed research into the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines.
