Nutrition
is the good we get from all the food we
eat and it helps our bodies work.
Food is made up of different types of
nutrients that contribute to our food
being nutritious! These nutrients
include carbohydrates, fats, proteins,
vitamins, minerals and
water.
.
Herbalism
is today a sophisticated system of
natural medicine using plant extracts and
herbs to help treat physical and mental
disorders.

If our
bodies fail to get all the nutrients they
need this is called malnutrition.
If a person suffers from malnutrition
they can be more likely to catch diseases
and it can effect the functions of their
body such as brain, eyesight, organs,
height, weight, as well as the formation
of body parts.
Herbs
are the highest quality food known to man
containing vitamins, minerals and trace
elements in natural balance and
harmony
Unlike conventional medicine, herbalists use
the 'whole' herb or plant rather than isolating
and breaking down chemical compounds and then
synthesising it. This is because the plant,
being a part of Nature, is said to represent
perfect balance; healing requires the natural
combination of elements in the plant or herb,
not just a single chemical within
it.
