The Roots of Herbalism go Deep and Far into History

Herbal medicine dates back about 5,000 years ago in China. The next oldest herbal document comes from ancient Egypt. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates was regarded by western man as the father of modern medicine. He wrote about herbs and their use. Native Americans based their herbalism on the philosophy of the Medicine Wheel, a holistic way of living that spreads from the individual to all mankind.

Today herbalism is alive and well, growing and becoming stronger as populations realise the value of preventing illness rather than treating sickness. 75% of Australians now use some form of complementary medicines. Millions are now realising that many a weed wasn’t created in vain, and that all living things on Mother Earth have a purpose in some way to serve all the rest.

Celebrate the wonder of herbs with us by sharing this knowledge with all who will listen. Then they too can begin their own quest for an optimum diet and other beneficial health habits.
