His secret is using what nature gave them: plants to heal. Fortunately, this knowledge has not been forgotten, but they’re not widely used, the plants have found their place in our civilization.

The story begins thousands of years before history, when man does not write or read, but he knew how to follow your instincts.

5000 years ago in ancient China, people use rhubarb (Rheune palmatum) as a laxative without the active substances contained in them. In addition, ephedra is used to treat asthma, despite the fact that the substance called ephedrine was discovered much later, in 1887 AD. All ancient civilizations had their Eastern ideas about the fascinating world of botany, the plants are one of the few elements that can be used to treat themselves. The famous King Hammurabi of Babylon (18th century BC) recommended the mint to cure constipation and other digestive disorders. Mesopotamia, doctors believe that the best time to take a herbal medicinal product in the evening or early morning, a principle which is now confirmed by modern studies. The Indians had a system of rules, regulations, practices and resources, called Ayurveda, several of which involved the use of plants.

There are writings of your use of garlic (particularly for workers who built the pyramids), indigo, mint, and opium. Greek and Roman civilizations have made an important contribution to medical science. Although many studies are from other cultures (Mesopotamia, Egypt), which adds valuable information and, in time, became increasingly concerned about diseases and remedies as natural processes and realistic rather than spiritual or magical. Physicians as Hippocrates, Dioscorides and others have recorded their findings, their work shed light on the pre-medieval civilizations for many centuries after his death. Dioscorides wrote of Materia Medica (1st century AD), which contains a list of hundreds of medicinal plants, and their description and quality of healing.

The Middle Ages met the absence of other studies herbal recorded knowledge has probably been transmitted from generation to generation, parents taught to children, monks, including apprentices trained herbalist. However, he lived with a Persian physician Avicenna (Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Abd Allah Ibn Sina), who wrote one of the most famous in the history of medical science: The Canon, which also contains information on how plants should be used and their properties.

In1527, the Swiss thinker Paracelsus, that only a small part of the plant has an effect on the human body (1 g per 20 kg of vegetables), which is what we now call the active substance. Then, scientists have developed methods to isolate these substances.

However, the first classification of all medicinal plants has been printed in a book entitled Theatrum Botanicum by John Parkinson in 1640. In 1649 Nicholas Culpeper pulished a physical directory, which is considered one of the best textbooks herbal pharmacopoeia still cited today.

Chemistry as a science developed, doctors have started using more and more synthetic drugs such as aspirin, which has been shown that adverse effects. However, all pharmacists and drug manufacturers to confirm that, unlike artificially synthesized substances, drugs of plant origin that are more accessible and friendly for the metabolism of the human body.
