Herbal herbs are an invaluable source of wealth.
They have endless healing properties.
Unlike common "traditional" medicines, with slow delicacy and patient continuity, they can heal the health of the human and animal body.
They are effective remedies for damage from side effects of classic medications.
They are used in the kitchen to detoxify the body from the inside, and are also precious natural dyes of fabrics, as opposed to synthetic dyes widely used today, which can even lead to pathologies because of the highly carcinogenic substances contained therein.
They are used in body care and soaps, in ecological cosmetics for facial implantable face masks, body wraps, and last but not least hair care.
