Herbs not only add spice to your diet, but also provide many health benefits

In Eastern cultures, spices and herbs are an essential part of the diet. In addition to increasing the aroma and flavor of food, these natural nutrients act as preservatives (essential in a hot climate with no refrigeration!) and provide health benefits that have only recently come to the attention of Westerners.

Spices such as garlic, ginger root, turmeric and many others are used in traditional dishes. Interestingly, they have also been a critical part of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years and are now being rediscovered by modern physicians. Other plants such as ginseng, passionflower, and echinacea have traditionally been used by Native Americans to treat numerous illnesses.

The goal of herbal medicine is to provide natural relief of human conditions without the strong side effects found in pharmaceutical drugs.

Most exciting, scientific research has begun to explain the molecular and cellular basis behind many of the active compounds in these roots, barks, leaves, and berries.
