Used throughout recorded history, herbs are plant materials that are used to flavor food, as well as prevent and treat disease. Although synthetic drugs have stolen center stage from herbs in developed countries, eighty percent of the world’s population still uses herbal medicine as first line treatment for illness. In fact, over thirteen thousand plant species have been used throughout the world as drugs.
Herbal medicine in this country is big business. In the year 1988, annual herbal sales (primarily in health food stores) amounted to two hundred million dollars. Since then, herbal sales have mushroomed to over five billion dollars annually. Furthermore, in addition to health food stores, herbs are now available in grocery stores, pharmacies, on the Internet, and by mail order.
