Herbalism is a type of natural medicine, and the study of the medicinal properties of different plants. Humans have been using plants as medicine for pretty much forever, back before modern medicine existed, it was pretty much their only option. But even though we have created and studied multitudes of modern medicines, there are still some benefits to using plants and herbs as alternatives. Though I would not recommend trying to use it to cure cancer or other deadly diseases; to me herbalism is best used as minor remedies to certain problems. Like using it to help with pain, or to promote a faster healing process. Herbalism doesnt have to just be medicine either, plants have all sorts of useful properties. Some of them can be used as repellants to bugs, or they can be used to make tools, or they can just be used as food. This website will go into some of the qualities of different plants and how they can be used, and I will also have a page dedicated to recipes dealing with plants, whether it be food or medicine.
