Herbs have been entwined in our everyday lives since the very beginning of humanity. From meals to medicines, rituals and religions, herbs have played integral roles that have been handed down from our most ancient ancestors. Learn the folklore and medicinal benefits of a few common herbs such as bay laurel, thyme, and oregano. Just like our ancestors did, you will make a bouquet garni, herbal oil, herbal vinegar, and vanilla extract for benefits ranging from better digestion to immune system boosting.
