Abstract
Herbs have been used both as food and medicine. Use of herbs
for prevention and cure deficiency diseases has an advantage of
being locally available because cost of production is low and its
is natural form (i.e. has less side effects if any over industrially
produced drugs). Most important is that various herbs are
utilized as vegetable, fruits leaves or roots. The purpose of this
paper is to look at what nature has bestowed upon us in
vegetables fruits and herbs that treat a myriad of maladies that
could otherwise be impossible in conventional medical clinics
by looking at common plants, know what they contain and what
they treat.
