And most of the herbal medicines are the part of our daily life usage but we do not know about them. If we get to know about those daily life herbal things we can easily cure our light diseases as well as complex diseases. We use them in our kitchen as well. Each kitchen has herbal medicines but there is not proper knowledge to utilize them for the for different purpose and for the betterment of daily life.

I am here to teach the people about the herbal medicines about their usage and how they can use them to make their lives more better. There are many different daily herbs which we can use carefully according to their benefits and instructions then we can become more fit and smart and we can look more healthy.

We know that we have turmeric powder in our kitchen it can be used as a herbal medicine for the cure of inflammation. It can be used for the blood filteration. It is used in urinary tract infections. It can be used for the cure of the muscle soreness which often happens after the exercise. If anyone gets hurt or get any wound then it is the cure at home. We can use it by dissolving the turmeric powder in the milk.

So I will cover this subject area to teach the students about the herbal medicines which are effective and natural medicines and they do not have bad side effects as other medicines.
