Herbal medicine is the use of plants as remedies to restore health.
Plants are the gift of nature to us. They are the source of our food and medicine, shelter and clothing and most importantly they are the source of oxygen that we breathe in every second of our lives.
All parts of the plants could be used as medicine; roots, barks, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds.
Every plant has a vital force that could heal sicknesses and maintain our good health; physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Currently, more and more people are using natural remedies to heal sicknesses and even as therapy for cancer.
With careful preparation and moderate use, herbal medicine is safe and free from harmful side effects.

My family is an avid fan of using herbal remedies. Instead of directly running to pharmacy or to a doctor, I prefer to use my homemade herbal medicine. They are natural and free from harmful side effects.
I grow different herbs in my garden for food and for medicine. I also collect wild herbs in the forest. It is one of my favorite pastimes with my daughter and also with my husband.
