Where did you get the idea that there are 12 original healing herbs? Herbs have been used as medicines since man existed. There is evidence of herbal use from the earliest archeological sites, and many of the herbs are ones that are still used in herbal medicine today. There were 12 original Bach flower remedies, but as these are not the same as the ones you have already mentioned, it is not likely that you are referring to Bach flowers.
Each system of herbal medicine has its own favourites, so to answer more specifically, I’d need to know if you are referring to Chinese, Ayurevedic or Western Herbal medicine. Western herbal med includes the old Arabian and Egyptian medicine too, so how far back are you talking about?
In the middle ages, all herb gardens were required to contain certain medicinal herbs, many of which are now used predominantly for culinary purposes (although they do have great medicinal properties).
Sorry I can ‘t give any more information without knowing exactly what you are referring to.
All the best in your search
Hi Sweet n Evil Scorpio Chick, why only the 12 original healing herbs/plants ?
Well, most likely ….. it may be ginger, peppermint, apple, leafy green vegetables, aloe vera, green tea, lemon, and chamomile.
