For information on the growing and use of plants beneficial to man, we can go right back to some of the earliest history recorded in the civilizations of Arabia and Egypt, as well as Greece and Rome.

The George Ebers papyrus found in the ruins of Thebes, and the more recently discovered Edwin Smith papyrus, give much information on the use of plant medicines, and Herodotus’s writings tell us of the embalming procedures used about 500 B.C. He named over 700 plants in common use for all manner of purposes, and many of these are still in use today. The Greek physician, Dioscorides, in the first century A.D., applied the knowledge gained about the properties of plants useful to man, and his “herbal”, one of the earliest written, is still referred to as one of the most accurate and learned in the practice of natural medicine.
