Herbology

Maggie’s Herb Basket in Mount Joy, PA

Medicinal herbs have been used for thousands of years. Through lore, documentation, and experimentation herbal medicine has withstood the scientific trends of the 20th century. There has been a re-emergence of interest in herbal alternatives for medical treatment. There are, however, challenges to effective treatment using herbs. We lack standardization criteria, knowledge, and understanding of herbal applications and trust and knowledge from the traditional medicine sector. These challenges can be overcome with realization of respect, understanding, and acceptance from the traditional medical sector and the alternative herbal medicine sector.
