Herbs are a vital part of our diet. We ate the leaves, roots, and stems of plants to cure our various discomforts and ailments. And we crushed flowers and placed aromatic herbs in our baths to promote general well-being. Today, we have tons of commercial products that can do what herbs can. We are fond of processed foods sold in fast-food chains. Every year, a new kind of drug is synthetically produced to treat all kinds of diseases. And countless synthetic beauty products line the shelves of many stores. But why would anyone want to give up a centuries-old tradition for a box of nothing more than chemicals?
