Herbal medicine used to be passed down as generational wisdom and regularly practiced in all households. The Flexner Report of 1910, which formalized education, changed how people were legally allowed to practice medicine, striping the need for generational wisdom. This lead to people solely relying on the for-profit system to provide their daily health care. Unfortunately, this leaves massive holes in the day-to-day wellness of your family, and a dependency on an expensive system for things that can be treated at home.

It only took a couple generations to nearly wipe out the common knowledge of medicinal plants in the United States. Today, many people are sprinting back to the traditional way: knowing and embracing the God-given medicinal herbs.
