Gingko is a vital herb in Chinese medicine and one of the oldest tree species. It is also one of the earliest homoeopathic herbs. The leaves are used to make capsules, pills, and extracts, and can also be used to make tea when dried. Its capacity to improve brain health is likely its most well-known feature.
⌄Is Basil a herb or spice?
Basil, rosemary, and parsley are common spices in kitchens, yet they are aromatic leaves and hence qualify as herbs. Because spices are derived from crushed sections of plants that are particularly high in essential oils, they have a stronger flavour than herbs.
