Most of us are living life in a trance.  We are worried about our health, but have no time to do anything.

Add to this, the changed eating habits, the degraded environment, the scourge of inherited miasma, the compromised immunity and the bane of modern medicine and you have a perfect soil that nurtures disease.  The inherent human immunity is no longer adequate to combat all these enemies of our vigor.  We need additional help.  This help is best provided by herbs.

Unfortunately, the path to the exact knowledge is hazy.  We need the collective wisdom of our forefathers to correct the situation.  Accordingly, Herbpathy   has undertaken the arduous task of compiling the knowledge from all the ancient cultures of the world and present it to you in a cut and dried form which has been tried and tested by generations.
