To a great extent our use of herbs has decreased over the years because of the simplicity of buying medicines of all shapes, sizes and formulations, when we need them, as we need them. Plus, manufacturers have promoted medicines through more advertising and marketing efforts targeting the end-user.

However, the benefits of herbs have not gone away. And gathering of top quality herbs is now made easier by tremendous improvements in growing, harvesting, equipment and transportation.

Herbs have recently been re-discovered. Everywhere you look there is new recognition of, and interest in, their benefits for animals and humans alike. Herbs are not a wonder cure and they will not cure all the concerns that exist. Nor will medicines, drugs or other manufactured products. What herbs can do is assist in allowing the natural bodily functions to operate more efficiently. For example, it is well known that herbs such as Chamomile help to relax the nervous system, while Garlic can help both alleviate respiratory disorders and repel insects. These are simple examples of some of the recognized benefits that have been found with natural herbs over the many years since they were first discovered.
