More that 38 million people in the US of now use some type of herbal medicine.  Therefore, here at Herb Inspiration we focus on the emerging medicinal news about culinary herbs and spices. Historically, It is a fact that many of the culinary herbs we use today were first used medicinally.  That is why today there is increased research being done on those herbs and their medicinal benefits as it relates to healing  and maintaining health. This is sometimes referred to as complementary medicine as oppose to conventional medicine.

Complementary medicine is now recognized as a viable choice for persons seeking healing.  Herbs and spices, or natural medicines are now being considered a viable choice instead of drugs. Therefore herb inspiration also comments on non-culinary herbs.

The consumer is also looking to mind and body therapies such as meditation and acupuncture as a means of healing.  The idea is to treat the whole person, not only the disease.   People want to have the choice of both conventional and alternative treatments  These consumers are the driving force behind this interest.  Scientists are paying a lot more attention to herbs and spices, relative to their medicinal value, and the Government is funding many research projects based on herbs.
