Hippocrates, Father of Medicine said “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”. Herbs, alongside diet and hygiene were the basis of ancient Greek medicine.

75% of modern drugs are synthesised from herbal ingredients. Many over the counter laxatives, cough and throat treatments are still traditional herbal medicines Taste, smell and appearance of herbs also indicates their quality.

Herbs that have been harvested, dried and stored properly have a strong taste, aroma and colour. Poor quality herbs will have a weak taste, lack aroma and colour. After 1 year, all dried herbs start to lose their potency.
