The world today is World of progress, no doubt. We did it in 200 years of continuous industrial revolution before it could not make thousands and thousands of tumultuous history.

They also used ephedra to treat asthma, although it was discovered a substance called ephedrine much later, in 1887 AD. In all the ancient civilizations of the Middle East had their position in the fascinating world of botany, plant used as one of several elements that need to be able to heal itself. The famous King Hammurabi of Babylon (18. AD) recommends that the mint for the treatment of constipation and digestive disorders. Doctors have found in Mesopotamia, that the best time, medicinal herbs for the night or early morning, a principle which is now confirmed by modern research. The Indians called the whole system of rules, requirements, resources and procedures, ayurveda, many of which include the use of plants. They also have strict rules about when, by whom and where plants should be collected,
People in ancient Egypt knew and used to heal the castor bean, absinthe, oregano, saffron and clean and disinfect wounds, as well as coriander and share in their graves, so that the spirit will remain healthy in later life. There are no written reports on the use of garlic, mint (especially for workers who built the pyramids), indigo and opium. Greek and Roman civilization have made important contributions to medical science. Although much of his research came from other civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt), it adds valuable information, and over time more and more worried about diseases and treatments through natural processes and realistic, but also as a spiritual or magical.
