People have always been looking in the nature for cures for the many different problems they had. In almost all ancient cultures, plants have had an important role, either in medical or in another sense.

Throughout history, knowledge of plants and their applications, expanded gradually, so that today there is already a lot of data in favor of treatment using plants. In relation to many natural remedies and plants, scientific studies were made, and thus activity of many plants has been scientifically verified. Of course, the herbs can not compete (in all segments) with the artificial products of the pharmaceutical industry, but in many ways they can help, and in many cases, they represent a healthier and cheaper alternative.

In addition, by collecting plants in nature, one obtains a additional benefit of the time spent in the natural environment, which by itself positively affects health. I hope that others will appreciate the benefits of medicinal plants, and plant collecting as a useful and interesting hobby.
