Herbal medicine was early man's first line of
defense against the many ills and accidents that plagued him.
Ancient humans learned from the observation of animals, including
birds, how to use leaves, earth, mud and water to make soothing
applications. Although the methods were crude, several of today's
medicines are based upon sources as simple as those of ancient
man.
Some of the popular herbal remedies for people
are:
Backache: Valerian root Headache:
Feverfew Muscle Aches: Capsaicum cream Indigestion:
Peppermint or Chamomile tea Nausea: Ginger (tea, capsules,
candy) Depression: St. John's Wort Anxiety & Stress:
