Herbs are a widely distributed and widespread group of plants, with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavoring, food, medicine, and perfume. One sort of dietary supplement is herbal medicine. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, extracts, and in novel dosage forms. Herbal remedies are used by people to maintain or improve their health. Many people believe that products labeled “natural” are always safe and good for them. Herbal medicines are of great demand in this developed world because of their cultural acceptability, better compatibility, efficacy, safety, and less side effects.
