What is a Herb?

"Use the correct Herb. Buy your herbal remedies from a reputable company. If you collect or grow Herbs on your own, be absolutely positive in your identification.

• Use the correct part of the plant. For instance, don't substitute roots for leaves. When buying fresh Herbs, check to be sure which part of the Herb is required for a remedy—the whole Herb, flowers, fruit, leaves, stems, or roots.

• When using an herbal remedy for the first time, start with a small amount to test for possible allergic reactions.

• Don't take certain Herbs if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant."

What is a Herb?

"Herbs used in cooking are typically composed of leaves and stems. This makes for an easy way to distinguish Herbs from spices. But can Herbs be spices and can spices be herbs? Yes. Many Herbs are used to flavor foods, thus meeting the definition of a spice, and most spices can be used for medicinal purposes, thus meeting the second definition of an Herb. Absent from this chapter is a discussion of salt (sodium chloride), which we consider a seasoning as it is not an Herb or spice. For information on sodium and salt alternatives, see page 732."
