Medicinal herbs can be used not only for diseases, but also for cooking. In this case, the medicinal properties of herbs do not disappear. Even in ancient times, people ate herbs, berries and plants that were found in the forest.
Gradually, medicinal herbs became a daily human diet. But in our time, medicinal plants are very rarely included in the composition of food. This is due to the fact that modern food production technologies are based on fast production and low costs.

Therefore, for the sake of greater profit, they stopped adding many medicinal plants. Few people know that, for example, nettles were added to bread before. Scientists have proven that due to the abolition of therapeutic supplements, people began to get sick more often.

This is because the body feels a lack of vitamins for good performance. And you can get these vitamins by eating only medicinal herbs. In the modern world, medicinal plants are used only for the preparation of decoctions or tinctures that are needed to treat certain diseases.

But you should be aware that medicinal plants cannot completely replace chemical drugs. After all, medicinal plants are needed for the natural healing of the body and the prevention of diseases.

The healing effects of plants are mild and gradual, which is not suitable for urgent treatment. But, it is better to avoid the disease than to undergo a long course of treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to add medicinal plants to food. It is unlikely that people will go back to the times when the addition of medicinal herbs to food was mandatory. Therefore, they should be added independently.

For example, nettle, birch leaf, calendula can be a useful addition to vegetable salads. Yarrow, quinoa, nettle, lemon balm, chamomile are well suited for making herbal soup. Also, these plants can be added to the preparation of ordinary soup.

Burdock, coltsfoot is recommended to be added to cereals. Melissa and sage are fragrant seasonings for various dishes. And you can even make jam from sea buckthorn and hawthorn. Small, daily doses of medicinal plants saturate the body with essential substances and vitamins.
