About Herbs

Ancient Wisdom – Modern Science

Before modern health services started people and  animals had to rely on plants and traditional practices to keep themselves healthy.  Many of the foods that we eat everyday and plants that grow in our gardens and countryside have beneficial properties.  For example garlic helps keep chest clear, tackles parasites and can help keep skin in good condition.  Chamomile flowers make a great calming tea and help relax the bowels.

Every country in the world has its own herbal traditions that have been passed down over the centuries.  In the UK much of the old wisdom associated with the use of plants was lost with the advent of modern medicine.  However modern approaches to health care enable us to understand in great detail how the body works and how best to tackle imbalance.  Much of the detailed scientific work that has been done on the way that different plants work has proved invaluable to those who are interested in promoting the use of herbs.

In countries like India and China the way of combining herbs and the in-depth knowledge associated with their use was first written down thousands of years ago and is still available today.  The use of such ancient traditions when fused with modern scientific principles and ideas has given Global Herbs a unique range of herbal products (Specialist horse herb products like Laminitis Prone Supplement have proven very successful).  Global Herbs aims to give you access to the most important herbal traditions around the world together with the sort of advice you need to make them the as effective as possible.
