History of herbs is as old as mankind itself. The Sumerian clay slabs from Nagpur, India present the oldest record of use of herbs for healing. Advent of modern medicine has displaced the therapeutic use of herbs and medicinal plants for more precise and targeted cure of diseases. However, recent advances in science has revived the interest in herbal supplements. Herbal supplements are increasingly being recognized for their usefulness in general wellbeing and as part of holistic health approach.
