 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.
