Herb is a collective name for a wide range of plants whose stems are not woody or persistent, but die back after flowering. In addition there are a number of shrubs and trees which, although not herbs, are used in herbal healing.
Although herbs were used in ancient civilisations where they were the principal and often the only components of medicines, seasonings, dyes, cosmetics and in some instances narcotics; over the last 150 years they have been largely replaced by manufactured pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
In recent years, disillusionment with modern society and its dependence on synthetic chemicals has caused many people to re-evaluate their life-style and to turn to alternative methods for the solution to problems such as tension, infertility, eczema, excess weight and even insect control.
Herbs are increasing in popularity because they are relatively easy to grow, require limited space and care are suitable for use in containers, and there are a large number of different species to choose from.
This renewed interest in their cultivation and uses plus the need for scientific re-evaluation of their chemical properties has led to a demand for more information about their history, cultivation, uses in cooking, medicine and agriculture.
At the completion of this course the student will be quite confident in being able to prescribe various herbal remedies to help with problems presented by family or friends.
