History of Herbs
Source: herb-pharm.com, wikipedia.org
Herbs have been used throughout history, not just by humans but by
animals too. One of the oldest herbs in history is the popular Ginkgo
Biloba, with fossil records indicating that it has been on earth at least
since the Paleozoic period. Studying how animals use medicinal plants
today, it’s not a far stretch to imagine dinosaurs munching on the
powerful Ginkgo after a stressful day in the field tracking/avoiding mighty
predators. The mere fact that animals today are able to distinguish and
use medicinal plants to heal and prevent disease, just on intuition, is
indicative of a long history of co-evolution between fauna and flora. We
developed, and are continuing to develop, in symbiosis with the plant
kingdom around us – they benefiting us, and we benefiting them.
Humankind’s herbal knowledge goes back many generations. One of the earliest known recorded
medical documents is dated around 1500 BC and called Papyrus Ebers. Written by the Egyptians, this
20 meter long scroll documents around 700 plant-based remedies. The Ancient Chinese, Indians,
Babylonians, Romans and Native Americans are all recorded to have a rich and vast herbal knowledge
too.
The Ancient Greek era gave birth to the father of Western medicine, Hippocrates. During this period,
the Greeks and the Romans theorised that four humors permeated the body and that these fluids and
their ratios affected one’s temperament and health. Each fluid – blood, black bile, yellow bile and
phlegm – was also associated with one of the corresponding four elements of nature: air, earth, fire
and water respectively. Greco-Roman civilisation spread this medical theory through Europe and it
remained the dominant medical understanding throughout the Middle Ages, only starting to fall out of
favour during the Renaissance period. After the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages
descended upon Western Europe, and with this came the banning of herbs as it was associated with
witchcraft and black magic which went against the prevailing religious dogma at the time.
Interestingly, it was mainly monks at the
monasteries who retained knowledge of herbs and
their uses. They were able to translate all the
information written about herbs from the Romans
and Greeks, which at the time was mainly in Latin,
thus becoming the primary custodians of Western
Europe’s herbal knowledge. Due to the ban on
herbalism, this knowledge was kept secret, and
much of Western Europe was plunged into an era
of ill-health and disease. While kept secret,
monastery gardens at the time were filled with
herbs (as monks would possibly secretly still have
been practising herbalism?), and even today a lot
of church gardens are herb dominant.

1
 While herbal information was kept secret on one side of the world, in other parts of the world (China,
Arabia, Africa, Native America, India and other areas with ancient indigenous cultures) herbalism was
practiced to its full extent, and much of modern herbalism draws its knowledge from these rich
cultures.
The big break for Western Europe (“civilised” society) however came in the
Middle Ages when the printing press was invented. This meant that books and
information could finally reach the common folk, and led to a mass translation
and printing of herbal books from Latin into English, a more universally practiced
language. An explosion of herbal remedies and usage erupted, as suddenly anyone
with access to the information could cure and treat the many sicknesses which
plagued society. This explosion in herbalism of the 16th and 17th centuries gave
birth to many prominent doctors, botanists, physicians and herbalists, one of
Nicholas Culpeper whom is Nicholas Culpeper, whose work is the basis for much of our herbal
knowledge today.
In the early 1900s, innovations in chemical analysis allowed scientists to extract and modify active
ingredients from plants, leading to a growing corporate interest in isolated chemicals (as such isolations
could be deemed proprietary information and therefore patented and profited from) and the decline
of herbal remedies. While revolutionary and highly beneficial in many aspects, society has today
become too dependent on unconsciously consuming pharmaceuticals,
and we have lost a vast amount of ancient and effective herbal
knowledge. However, there is a growing resurgence in the field as
humanity reawakens to its deep connection to the healing power of
plants – and you reading this are a fundamental part of this resurgence.

Herbal Safety
While incredibly powerful and profoundly healing, utmost care should be undertaken when using
herbs. The pharmaceutical industry has eroded our ability to use drugs responsibly, making medicine
just another commodity for us to consume when we have dis-eases, the root cause of which we have
trouble facing. Herbal remedies should not be used in the same light – plant medicines are sacred and
can affect us deeply. Do adequate research before you use any remedy, especially if pregnant, nursing,
struggling with mental issues, you’re on medication, or for usage on children or the elderly. You can
use a 24 hour skin test to see if you have any allergic reaction to the herbs by rubbing a sample of the
herb or remedy on the inside of your forearm or wrist. If you are ingesting the herb take a small
dosage and wait 30 minutes to see if any reaction occurs. Always make sure you have identified the
correct herb - some herbs can look very much alike. A good resource is the Veggie Gardeners of
Western Cape Facebook page, where you can post a picture of your plant and many knowledgeable
people will be happy to help you identify it. If you are still unsure then rather do not use the herb.

Herbal Preparation
Harvesting
• Harvest herbs on a sunny day after the morning dew has just evaporated.
• Deciduous plants (losing its leaves in the cold season) and annual plants (growing for 1 year or
less) should be picked just before flowering.
• Evergreen perennials (growing for 4 years or more) can
be picked year-round.
• Cut whole flowers when they are fully open.
• Most roots are harvested in autumn once the plants start
to die down.
• Harvest whole seed heads with stalks when they are
almost ripe (starting to dry out).

Drying and preserving herbs

Many herbs dry well, retaining their medicinal properties and flavour. Dried herbs are stronger than
fresh herbs as the chemical compounds are more concentrated after the moisture has been driven off.
• To get a feel for the process, start off drying herbs with low water content like oregano,
rosemary, thyme and lavender.
• You can dry small quantities on newspaper making sure you turn them daily. For larger harvests
you can dry on a screen with shade cloth or hessian. If you feeling up for a little DIY, you can
construct one of these solar dryers.
• Dry herbs in the shade out of direct light as light degrades the chemical composition of the
herbs.
• Tie seed head stems together and place upside down in a brown bag with the stems sticking
out. When they are fully ripe shake the seed heads to dislodge them from the stems into the
bag.
• They are dry when they are brittle to the touch (ie “cracker dry”).
• Store herbs in airtight sealed containers. Glass or ceramic containers are perfect.
• Most herbs will keep up to 18 months in a dark storage area, like a cupboard.

Types of Herbal Remedies
• Tisanes and Decoctions: Used to infuse water with the medicinal properties of a plant or
root in a drinkable form. Tisanes are used for softer parts of medicinal plants like the leaves (eg
tea), flowers and fruits while a decoction is used for harder parts like roots and bark.
• Oil Infusion: An oil infused with flavourful herbs can be used for culinary purposes or
medicinally for massages and other topical applications, eg in ointment or balm form.
• Ointment/Salve: A salve is a mainstay of your home first aid kit. Use it on cuts, scrapes,
rashes, sunburn and almost any skin irritation. Salves can also bring comfort to aching arthritic
joints and sore muscles. Comfrey is a great herb to use in salves (caution: do not use on deep,
puncture type wounds, as it can cause the skin to heal over and seal the infection inside).
• Tincture: This can be used internally or topically for certain ailments. Alcohol infused tinctures
are very powerful in concentration. All herbs have different dosages so do research before
consuming. An average dosage is about 5-15 drops, 3-5 times daily. Can be mixed in water or
juice. Tinctures must be taken with care.
• Cough syrup: Basically a tisane/decoction diluted with a syrup for taste (usually sugar or
honey). Can be used when you have a scratchy / sore throat or persistent cough.
• Disinfectant: Used to treat wounds, scrapes, infections and cuts. 2 teaspoons of disinfectant
must be diluted in a ¼ cup of cold or warm water. Use a clean cloth or cotton wool to clean
the wound.

Recipes
Cough Syrup
Recipe from Alex Kruger
Equipment
• Pot
• Spoon
• Sieve
• Small bottles (amber coloured is best) with lids that can
seal
• Funnel

Herbs
• 4 cups of washed and chopped Artemisia (Wilde Als / Umnhlonyane)
• 4 cups of washed and chopped Blue or Brown sage (Salvia lutea or Salvia chamegleana)
OR

• 0.5 kg chopped ginger

Other Ingredients
• 1 litre of clean water

6
• 1 kg brown sugar

Method
1. Put the water and chopped herbs into the pot. Bring the water to the boil, and simmer on the
stove for half an hour.
2. Now strain the liquid out through a sieve.
3. Discard the strained out herbs (preferably on a compost heap)
4. Measure the strained liquid and then put it back into the pot – you will likely have less than 1
litre of liquid as some of the water would’ve evaporated off.
5. Using your measurement of the liquid, add an equal amount of brown sugar. Boil the sugar and
herb water for half an hour or longer, or until you get a nice syrup consistency (the longer you
boil it, the thicker it will become so be careful as it can quickly become too thick).
6. Bottle the hot syrup in sterilised glass jars and seal the lid.

How to use the cough syrup

This remedy can be safely given to children and adults as a cough mixture – about 3 teaspoons 3 times
a day.
If someone has diabetes, they should just drink the herbal water without the sugar. The liquid could
be sweetened if desired with an alternative sweetener instead such as stevia.
This recipe does make use of indigenous herbs but you can replace those herbs with other herbs that
will also help relieve coughs like: Thyme, mint, oregano, ginger and even onion.

Cough Syrup (with honey)

Recipe from wellnessmama.com
Ingredients
• 1 litre water
• 1/4 cup ginger root (freshly grated or dried)
• 1/4 cup chamomile flowers
• 1/4 cup marshmallow root
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup honey
Instructions
1. Pour the water into a medium saucepan and add the dried herbs.
2. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer until the volume is reduced by about half. (You will need 1 cup of liquid after
herbs are strained off).

7
3. Pour through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove herbs (discard on compost pile).
4. While liquid is still warm (not boiling) mix with lemon juice and honey and stir well.
5. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Notes
The recommended dose is 1 teaspoon for children and 1 tablespoon for adults as needed for
symptoms.
You can replace those herbs with other herbs that will also help relieve coughs such as thyme, mint,
oregano, ginger and even onion.

Oil Infusion
Ingredients
• 500ml olive oil or any other oil as a base with a stable shelf life.
• 1 cup dried herb / 2 cups fresh herb
• Sterilised glass jar (pour boiling water into it and allow to sit for
a few minutes)
• Sieve
Solar Method
1. Place the herbs into the sterilised jar and add oil making sure all the herbs are covered with a
2-3cm layer of oil above the herbs.
2. Allow to infuse on a sunny window for 2-4 weeks. Make sure you shake it every couple days.
3. Once infused you can strain the herb from the oil. The oil left behind is your herbal infused oil.
Heating Method
Another way to infuse oils, which is sometimes necessary when herbal oils need to be created in a
pinch, is the quick method which utilises heat. Much care needs to be taken when creating herbal oils
this way because you do not want to deep-fry your herbs!
1. Place herbs in a crock-pot or double boiler and cover with your oil of choice leaving at least 2-
3cm of oil above the herbs.
2. Gently heat the herbs on a very low heat (between 38 to 60 degrees Celsius) for 1-5 hours
until the oil takes on the colour and scent of the herb.
3. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
4. Once cool, strain using cheesecloth and bottle into dry and sterilised amber bottles for storage.
5. Store in a dark and cool place. Vitamin E oil may also be added to prolong the shelf life.

Healing Ointment
Adapted from www.anniesremedy.com
Ingredients
• 1 cup infused oil (can infuse oil with herbs of choice. Eg
lavender, buchu, comfrey, etc)
• 30grams beeswax
• 10 drops essential oil (optional – lavender, rosemary,
and tea tree oil are good options)
Method
1. Combine oils and wax in a glass bowl over a double boiler.
2. Heat the oil and wax together until the wax melts completely.
3. Pour into clean, dry jar.
4. At the point where the mixture has cooled a little, but not yet set, add 10 drops or so of an
antiseptic essential oil such as lavender, thyme or tea tree.
Notes on making an ointment

• Changing the ratio of coconut oil and beeswax will change consistency of it
• If you don’t want to add coconut oil and just use beeswax. A good ratio is 28g beeswax to 1
cup oil.
• Can add other oils and butters. Eg Avocado oil, shea butter etc.

Tincture
Recipe from Alex Kruger
Equipment
• A 1 litre glass jar with a wide mouth, and a tight lid
• A sieve
• A funnel (if needed).
Herbs
Disinfectant:
• 1 cup of washed and chopped Comfrey
• 1 cup of washed and chopped Rosemary
• 1 cup of washed and chopped Lavender
• 1 cup washed and chopped Kooigoed
• 1 cup of Fennel (Vinkel/ Barishap) seeds
*Dry the herbs with a cloth once you have washed them. Chop the herbs after drying them.
OR

• Any herb or plant medicine of your choice – preferably chopped finely

Other Ingredients
• 750 ml good quality cane spirits / vodka

9
Method
1. Mix all the herbs together and push all the herbs firmly into the glass jar.
2. Add the cane spirits until the jar is completely full (the herbs need to be completely submerged).
3. Put the lid on tightly and put the jar into a dark cupboard for 2 weeks.
4. Shake the jar well every day.
5. At the end of two weeks you should have a dark browny-green liquid.
6. Strain the tincture through a sieve and put into a clean jar.
7. Throw the old herbs on the compost heap.
How to use the tincture
• Dosage will be dependent on the herbs used. Start off with a small dose before taking large
amounts. Usually 1-5 drops is a good starting point (some may require this dosage 2-3 times a
day). You can mix this in water, swallow direct, or drop it under your tongue for the quickest
results.
• If making a disinfectant, this can be used on new wounds, scrapes, infections and cuts.
• 2 teaspoons of disinfectant must be diluted in a ¼ cup of cold or warm water. Use a clean cloth
or cotton wool to clean the wound.
• You can also use the diluted disinfectant to gargle for a sore throat –do not swallow.

Breath Spray/Mouthwash
Equipment
• Container to hold boiling water with herbs. Eg kettle, tea pot, glass that can take boiling water
etc.
• A sieve
• 1 cup water
• Spray bottle/glass jar
Herbs
• 1 tsp cloves
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 4 drops peppermint oil
• ¼ cup mint (optional)
Method
8. Add herbs and spices to container.

11. Let the liquid cool to room temperature.
12. Add the peppermint drops.
13. Pour into spray bottle or jar.
14. Keep stored in refrigerator.
15. Can use as breath spray or gargled as a mouthwash.
Why it works

• The cinnamon naturally reduces bad bacteria found in saliva.

10
 • Cloves have been used since ancient times to help reduce tooth pain. It has antiseptic and
anaesthetic properties.
• Peppermint oil is anti-bacterial as well.
How to use the spray
• You can spray or gargle in your mouth to help reduce bad breath, mouth and gum infections
and bad bacteria building up.
