Prior to the emergence of modern healthcare and the age of lab-inspired pharmaceuticals, humankind acquired relief from all manner of maladies through the use of plants found in nature, dating back as early as 1500 BC. Only in the last 50 years has chemically derived medicine become the norm. Conventional medications can be expensive, habit-forming, and are frequently used to treat symptoms rather than the root of illness. Not to mention, they're known to produce damaging side affects, causing dangerous counteractions when used with other medications.
