Within the living world, plants and humans enjoy an incredibly special bond. Not only do we share many of the same building blocks of life, we are dependent on plants for our very existence. Throughout history plants have been integral to our survival as a species: most notably as a source of nutrition and through our oldest form of healing, Herbal Medicine.
As we all know, nutrition is fundamental to our health and well-being. So too is Herbal Medicine. Like the plants we consume as food, Herbal Medicine improves natural function by providing nourishment and strength, allowing the body to return to a vibrant state of health.
