We dive deeply into the benefits of each herb on distinct body systems (such as digestive, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory), to provide comprehensive insights for holistic wellness.

Properties

Our encyclopedia cover a comprehensive range of properties for the herbs (like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial), which is beneficial to understand how these herbs interract with various health conditions.

Constituents

In our articles, we do our best to include the chemical constituents of the plants (for example flavonoids, alkaloids, and other bioactive compounds), which give proof on their medicinal properties.

Parts

We understand that some parts of a plant are more curative than others (including roots, stems, leaves, bark, seeds, and flowers), so we always include what parts are best to consume for each plant.
