Herbal medicine is the use of herbs for medicine and to build health. However, calling it "medicine" is only part of the story. The herbal tradition focuses on disease prevention through holistic living as well.
Background
The origins of herbal medicine are not quite known. However, we do know that pretty much every known culture in the world has some form of herbal tradition. The first known published work about herbal medicine took place in China around 2697 B.C. Since that time, numerous works have been published but even more important than that are the traditions passed down through the generations.
