Since every plant has some nutrients, what makes certain plants herbs and others, just...weeds? Good question! The answer is...
Parts of some plants, over the years, have achieved a reputation for providing certain medicinal or health benefits to remedy illness or discomfort.
Chemicals in many of these herbs, as science developed, have become active ingredients in medicines, while the benefits of others have come under suspicion. Many are less harmful and as useful as prescription medicines used to treat the same illnesses. As the scientists and naturalists learn to overcome their prejudices toward each other, the whole universe of health and fitness is changing.
As new discoveries are confirmed and plants achieve new recognition for their health value, we will add them to our list of Herbs and Herbal Nutrition pages. You can come here for plain language information on the most popular herbs. The following are links to our Herbs and Herbal Nutrition pages:
