To make matters worse, imported herbs are normally irradiated or sterilized with toxic gas in order to decontaminate them of insects and germs commonly found in shipments from such places. Even Organic Herbs can be mis-handled to lose their valuable properties. The natural oils of the plants often contain their healing essences. These oils are often lost in the machine-driven industrial mass production techniques used by most manufacturers. This is a main reason why consumers see poor results in taking store-bought herbs.
Herbs are very powerful medicinal foods when grown, harvested and processed properly.
