Welcome to Rose Remedies
Herbal Medicine is the world’s oldest healing art, both in recorded and unrecorded history. Medicinal herbs were found in the remains of a 60,000 year old human burial – herbs still in use today (Yarrow and Shepherd’s). Herbal Medicine is also the world’s most widely recognized healing art. According to a Smithsonian statistic, 82% of the world’s population uses herbs as a primary system of healing. Herbal medicine is so powerful and effective that it has survived for thousands of years. By contrast, conventional medicine is less than 100 years old. Not only is herbal medicine an ancient, time tested and effective system of medicine, but it has evolved with humans. It is a living tradition which changes and grows with people. In fact, the history of medicine is the history of herbal medicine.
From the earliest times, herbs have been prized for their healing abilities, and today we still rely on the curative properties of plants in many of our medicines. Over the centuries, societies around the world have developed their own traditions using medicinal plants. For all but the last 50 years, humans have relied almost entirely on plants to treat all manner of illness, from minor problems such as coughs and colds to life threatening diseases. Scientific inquiry is now validating the effectiveness of traditional herbal therapy.
