What is an herb? An herb is "a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities." A "plant or plant part" means that an herb can be a single-celled algae, the bark of a tree, the leaf, root, fruit, seed, flower, or any other part of any plant, as long as it is used for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities. "Medicinal" means for health purposes, including the treatment and prevention of disease. "Savory" means herbs that are used to season food, such as garlic, rosemary, basil, etc. And "aromatic" refers to herbs, plant parts, or flowers that are used for their odor or aroma, as in perfumes, fragrances, incense, etc. There are numerous other uses for herbs that do not easily fit into these three categories. For example, herbs are used in the preservation of food, for dying cloth, pest control, decorating, and for many other purposes. Did I forget to mention that herbs are often used for food? "Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food." —Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Nigerian Herbs- Uses, Local Names And Pictures by gawab: 2:03pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
Daniel058:Yes, that is brimstone tree. Use only the leaves not the seed. Igbo name of brimstone tree is Eze-ogu. AN apiculturalist is a beekeeper and MAY NOT know exact point to apply bee venom for serious headache. An apitherapist is well suited for this. www.totalhealthland.com 3 Likes 1 Share |
