What is a herb?

"Oriental Herbs are a recent addition to the American Herb scene, with the influx of several popular Chinese Herbs. The Chinese are today's foremost herbalists, drawing on thousands of years of experience in compounding and processing roots and Herbs. In the Asian tradition, Herbs are used to bring the whole body into balance and harmony. They are taken daily as a preventive measure, rather than as a treatment once illness has occurred. In the Orient, medicinal Herbs often find their way into foods as seasoning and ingredients."
