 While using herbs to help treat ailments
may seem like a modern phoenomena, it has been around for over
5000 years. Ancient Egyptians used oils in what was probably
an early version of aromatherapy. In the past almost all
medicines we took were herbs. Asprin, for example, it's main
ingredient (acetylsalicylic acid) comes from the bark of a willow
tree. Others include morphine, which is an active element of
the opium plant. Atrophine, comes from Belladonna leaves and
the heart drug Digitoxin comes from purple foxglove leaves just
to name a few. |

help guide you as to what herbs can be helpful to you, we have
compiled a list of herbs and ailments they have been known to
help.. |
