Throughout our beautiful planet there are over 10,000 herbs, which are used in food, tea, wines, medicines, etc. They have been used for thousands of years before Christ. Conceivably since the time humans first began to roam planet earth. The use of herbs was the only way that people could heal thus restore their health. Going back 1,600 years before Christ ancient Egyptian papyrus describes in great detail the use of certain herbs, like Wormwood. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, implemented herbs, considered herbs magic and used them as the basis of medical science. Throughout history herbs have had an effectiveness and usefulness in treatment of all kinds of diseases and conditions including mental health. Herbs work as well today as they did in the past.
