What is the history of herbal medicine?
Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. Ancient Chinese and Egyptian papyrus writings describe medicinal uses for plants as early as 3,000 BC. Indigenous cultures (such as African and Native American) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems (such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine) in which herbal therapies were used. Researchers found that people in different parts of the world tended to use the same or similar plants for the same purposes.
In the early 19th century, when chemical analysis first became available, scientists began to extract and modify the active ingredients from plants. Later, chemists began making their own version of plant compounds and, over time, the use of herbal medicines declined in favor of drugs. Almost one fourth of pharmaceutical drugs are derived from botanicals.
Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care. In Germany, about 600 - 700 plant based medicines are available and are prescribed by some 70% of German physicians. In the past 20 years in the United States, public dissatisfaction with the cost of prescription medications, combined with an interest in returning to natural or organic remedies, has led to an increase in herbal medicine use.

 What types of herbal products and supplements are available?

Hundreds of herbal products and supplements are available. They are advertised to treat just about any symptom. However, there isn’t a lot of trustworthy evidence to support the vast majority of these advertising claims.
Some of the most popular herbal products and supplements include chondroitin sulfate, echinacea, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, glucosamine, kava, melatonin, phytoestrogens (such as black cohosh, dong quai, and soy), saw palmetto, and St. John’s wort.

How do I safely take herbal products and supplements?

Read the directions on the supplement label to learn how much to take and how often to take it. If you have any questions about how much to take, call your family doctor or pharmacist.
Follow these tips to make sure you are taking the right amount:
  • If you are taking a prescription medicine, ask your doctor if it’s okay to also take herbal products and supplements.
  • Take only the amount recommended on the label. Don’t assume that more of an herbal product or supplement will work better or quicker. Taking more than the recommended amount can be dangerous.

How can I safely store herbal products and supplements?

Store all supplements up and away, out of reach and sight of young children. Keeping  these products in a cool, dry place will help prevent them from becoming less effective before their expiration dates. Do not store them in bathrooms or bathroom cabinets, which are often hot and humid.

Is it safe to take herbal products if I have health problems?

Tea is a name given to a lot of brews, but purists consider only green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea, and pu-erh tea the real thing.
Green tea
There are three main varieties of tea -- green, black, and oolong. The difference is in how the teas are processed. Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are substances that fight free radicals -- damaging compounds in the body that change cells, damage DNA, and even cause cell death. Many scientists believe that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health problems, including cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants such as polyphenols in green tea can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
4)
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is used by more than 2 million men in the United States for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. A number of studies suggest that the herb is effective for treating symptoms, including frequent urination, having trouble starting or maintaining urination, and needing to urinate during the night.

5)St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is well known for its antidepressant effects. In general, most studies have shown that St. John's wort may be an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants. But the herb interacts with a wide variety of medications, including birth control pills, and can potentially cause unwanted side effects, so it is important to take it only under the guidance of a health care provider.

6)Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems because it is considered to be both safe and gentle.

7)Echinacea preparations (from Echinacea purpurea and other Echinacea species) may improve the body's natural immunity. Echinacea is one of the most commonly used herbal products, but studies are mixed as to whether it can help prevent or treat colds.

10)Manioc(Cassava)
Plant grows in Tropical Countries Dry zones.
In most parts of the world, cassava is eaten boiled, steamed, or fried. You can even buy cassava chips instead of 'potato chips' at select stores. Although cassava has more Vitamin C than a sweet potato, it is very high in amylose, a hard to digest starch. In a recent study, new varieties of cassava have been identified where the amylose content is less than 3 percent compared to the 18-24 percent of amylose found in traditional cassava.This is certainly good news for the people in poverty stricken areas like sub-Sahara Africa/Asia where the cassava root is a stable food.

Medicinal properties 

Cassava or tapioca (Manioc)is effective in preventing  cancer. However, some researchers have proposed an idea that might eventually lead to treatments that use an enzyme from the cassava plant..
