Historical Herbalism Roots

Egypt

In ancient Egypt, herbs were woven into every aspect of life, including medicine,

ritual, and daily cuisine. Egyptians revered plants like fennel and aloe vera

for their medicinal properties, viewing

them as divine gifts for maintaining health and balance. Their expertise is

immortalized in the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BCE), which describes over 700

herbal treatments (Metwaly et al., 2021).

India

Traveling east to ancient India, we encounter the practice of Ayurveda—

literally, “the science of life”—one of the

world’s oldest holistic healing systems.

Central to Ayurvedic practice is the pursuit of balance, with herbs like turmeric and ashwagandha, valued

for their ability to enhance vitality and promote overall well-being. Foundational

texts, including the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, provide extensive

plant profi les, detailed recipes, and dosage guidelines—testaments to the sophisticated botanical knowledge developed over millennia.

China

In China, herbal medicine has

become a vital part of healthcare, along with acupuncture and tai chi. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbalists created precise formulas that combined roots like ginseng and rhizomes such

as ginger, with each blend customized to a patient’s specific imbalance

(NCCIH 2019). The major Compendium of Materia Medica by Li Shizhen further

The Foundations of Herbalism 3 documented over 1,800 substances,

highlighting the extensive knowledge that shaped TCM and influenced herbal

practices worldwide.

Europe

As Europe entered the medieval period, apothecaries gained prominence by blending local herbs into poultices,

tinctures, and salves. The Renaissance revived the study of botany, with

Scholars carefully catalog plant species and their uses. Influential figures emerged: Hippocrates, hailed as the

Father of Medicine, championed the

use of herbs within a balanced, natural

approach to health, and Hildegard of Bingen combined spiritual insight with practical herbal remedies, illuminating the deep bond between humanity and the plant world.
