 Every country has its own culture and tradition. Probing the origin of our current health care practices, it can be found that during ancient times even before the birth of medicines, doctors and hospitals there happened to be a culture that every home was the source of knowledge, remedies and medicinal plants. We call them home remedies. Those were the solutions for every health issues. Every home had animals and there were common ailments for everyone at home. Every home had a knowledgeable person and every home had a treatment strategy where they just go around the house, pluck some plants and make medicines out of them. We named them herbal medicines.
