The roots of a great medicine

The first written text on plant medicine is on clay. It consists of a set of tables engraved with cuneiform characters and its authors, the Sumerians, wrote it some 3000 years BC.
This marks the start of the official history of phytotherapy, although it is known that in reality, man made very early use of plants both as food and for medicinal purposes.
Ever since, man has ceaselessly pursued his quest for knowledge of plants, their secrets and their beneficial properties.
Nowadays, science is making such strides that new horizons are opening up for phytotherapy.
New, cutting-edge scientific methods are being used to ascertain the active principles of plants, discover new properties, new forms that are simpler to use and designed to suit the needs of present-day life.

Plants have now become real medicines.
