Benefits of herbs & modern living

The use of plants for their medicinal value dates back to the origin of the human species. Certainly, if we’ve been using them for over 60,000 years, something must work! Knowing how to use them, what dosage is appropriate, and the benefits of a particular plant is no easy feat. With all the herbs and botanical supplements available, it may be hard to determine what works best for you. Since some herbs may have strong taste and smell that make them difficult to take in tea or granular form, capsules are great way to keep the ancestral human tradition of using natural remedies with the benefits of modern living. And, because chances are, we're not going out into the wild to explore what works, in this blog post we want to talk about some of the herbs you should be considering in your daily regimen.
