Herbs have quite a varied history. Some five thousand years ago, herbs were considered to be lifesavers.
The oldest surviving text of Chinese herbal pharmacology, extensively detailed a life-saving prescription of mixing camphor and cannabis. Then Sumerians (considered to be the creators of human civilization as know it) also wrote about life saving prescriptions of thyme.?
But then with the advancement of science and technology, herbs lost their appeal. Since herbs have always taken time to deliver desired results, we didn't have the patience to see how magical herbs are.
However, herbs have made a supreme comeback and are now regaining their luster for their curing, ailing and beautifying properties. A private herb garden has now become a status symbol. Chefs and doctors can't stop raving about the magic of herbs.?
