History of herbs

Herbs are a fascinating subject of study, for it seems that our human ancestors must have sampled almost every growing green plant in their historical search for food, medicines, psychedelic drugs, dye-sources, cosmetics and poisons. Every indigenous group of people over the world has developed a system of folk medicines over thousands of years. Now modern western science is taking a new look at some of these ancient folk remedies and finding that they are useful in controlling certain diseases or medical conditions.
