Medicinal plants, also called medicinal herbs, have been discovered and used in traditional medicine practices since prehistoric times. The earliest historical records of herbs are found from the Sumerian civilization, where hundreds of medicinal plants including opium and myrrh are listed on clay tablets. The Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt, c. 1550 BC, describes over 850 plant medicines aka Medicinal Herbs inc. aloe, cannabis, castor bean, juniper garlic, pepper and mandrake
In around 60 AD, the Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides, working for the Roman army, documented over 1000 recipes for medicinals using over 600 medicinal herbs in De materia medica.
The book remained the authoritative reference on herbalism and Medicinal Herbs for over 1500 years, into the seventeenth century
In modern medicine, around a quarter of the drugs prescribed to patients are derived from medicinal plants, and they are rigorously tested. In other systems of medicine, medicinal plants and herbs may constitute the majority of what are often informal attempted treatments, not tested scientifically. The World Health Organization estimates, without reliable data, that some 80 percent of the world's population depends mainly on traditional medicine (including but not limited to plants and herbs) perhaps some two billion people are largely reliant on medicinal herbs.
