Today just a word from the late Juliette de Bairacli Levy:

Mankind can not forsake herbs. They are promised in the Bible to the human race, and that promise is well known, for it is proudly quoted in almost every herbal. In the Old and New Testaments there are over a dozen mentions of herbs or medicinal trees of value to mankind, for food or medicine. That our forefathers valued an herb garden is shown in Ahab's plea to Naboth (I Kings 22:2): "give me thy vineyard that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house."
Man can never excel Nature in medicine manufacture, for she makes the best ones. There is an herb, or several herbs, to cure or relieve every ailment of man and animal, bird and insect; and herbs applied in agriculture practice will even cure crops of their diseases.
The human race should make a study of herbs and not be content to remain ignorant of a medicine which is man's rightful inheritance, and which has only become lost to man through their ignorance and laziness and their departure from natural living. People should not be content to pay high prices for chemical medicines, which are seldom beneficial to the human body because they are unnatural, and which are very often harmful, their total effects being unknown. Instead they should learn to know the wild mredicinal plants- the herbs- which are free for the gathering. Teeming in the countryside, the world over, are medicinal herbs and edible plants; it shows disbelief in the power of God to pass them by.
