For centuries people all over the world have used herbs to heal or ease their afflictions. Often herbs are taken as an "infusion" in which ground up flowers or leaves or roots of a plant are steeped in boiling water for about 10 minutes and then sipped slowly. Sometimes solid and hard substances such as wood, bark, and seeds of the the herbs are boiled for long periods of time to draw out the active substances. The resulting liquid can then be incorporated into ointments, and drinks, or even dried to be included in tablets.

Because most of the active substances evaporate easily, they should be kept in a tightly sealed containers and wherever possible used fresh.

Almost every condition known to man has been treated with herbs. Headaches, urinary tract problems, skin conditions, tummy problems, colds and flu, relaxation, stimulation and many many others. Some herbs are even given mystical qualities, such as the old wives tale that garlic can scare away vampires, or protect those using it from "the evil eye". While some herbs like camomile and St John's wort help to calm the system, there are many others that stimulate the body's performance, clear the head and increase brain activity.

The trouble with herbs is that they are complex substances derived from plants which often contain a number of different active substances in the same plant extract. Often these are very active substances, some of which have been purified and synthesised to form medicines in daily use such as aspirin. Because many of the substances in herbal extracts are powerful drugs in their own right, they should be used with great care and preferably on the advice of someone qualified and experienced in their use. As many of these powerful substances can interact with medicines, they should be used with great care when prescribed medication is also being used.
