Natural herbs have been the source of medicinal cures long before recorded history. Over time, people have narrowed down the plants with the desired medicinal properties. Scientists have found that over the same region and even all over the whole world people use similar species of plants for similar medicinal purposes.

Many human cultures across the world have also been utilizing natural ingredients for cosmetic and physical fitness maintenance regimens. The use of herbs for cosmetic certainly predates the use of chemicals. Many cultures around the world adopt their knowledge of medicinal herbs, combined with a mix of cultural beliefs and symbolism, into some of the earliest forms of beauty care.

This study, together with modern knowledge of human biology, led to the development of modern pharmaceuticals.
