Before modern medicine, humans benefited from the medicinal properties of plants and herbs for thousands of years. All around the world, people have harnessed the positive effects of various medicinal plants for uses such as pain relief, indigestion and skin irritation.
Today, plants are still used alongside traditional medicines and antibiotics to keep people healthy.
