The Herbs

Herbal remedies have been around for centuries. There are 5 basic systems of medicinal herbalism: Chinese, Ayurvedic (meaning Life and Knowledge) or Indian, Egyptian-Greco-Roman (the 1500 BC Egyptian Ebers papyrus is the oldest surviving medical text), Arab (first modern pharmacists), and Native American. You'll see these referred to as you read through the herbal information.
