History
LongevityHerbs.com is proud to provide a bevy of herbal remedies and medicines common to the tradition of Chinese herbology. Herbology is the practice of treating medical conditions and health issues via the natural benefits of plants and plant extracts. Herbology is also referred to as herbalism, botanical medicine, or phytotherapy.
Herbs have been used as medicines since prehistorical times; Chinese culture alone has promulgated the effectiveness of herbal medicine for nearly 5,000 years. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Indians and Native Americans have all contributed to the long history of phytotherapy. Herbology survived the Middle Ages in the Western world and American colonists combined their herbal knowledge with the indigenous peoples’ own. But the Chinese traditions of herbalism hardly waned from the populace’s attention or usefulness in all this time.
Today, the World Health Organization estimates that a full 80% of the global population fulfills their primary health care needs via herbal remedies. Though Europe is no stranger to such treatments, the industrialized Western world in general is just now catching on to the time-tested efficacy of medical modalities such as Chinese herbology. Modern research is finally discovering the potential Chinese herbs afford. Billions of people around the world consume natural herbal products for their preventative and acute medical needs and LongevityHerbs is proud to share this history, knowledge and healthfulness with you, our customers.
