Before antibiotics, before pharmaceutical companies, before modern medicine, people survived and thrived using what nature provided. The Bible mentions over 120 plants, many specifically for healing purposes. There are many herbal books in my personal library One of favorites is Medicinal Plants of the Bible by James Duke. I had the pleasure of meeting James earlier in y botanical medicine career.
You would be amazed at he passages in the bible that mention plats and their uses. Throughout scripture, hyssop appears as the ultimate purifying plant. Moses commanded its use in Passover rituals (Exodus 12:22), and David pleaded, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean” (Psalm 51:7). Even at Christ’s death, a sponge soaked in vinegar was offered on a hyssop branch. Hyssop a natural antiseptic that can help treat respiratory infections, digestive issues, and skin conditions.
There are many other plants Frankincense served ancient physicians as a healing balm for wounds and arthritis. This precious resin from Boswellia trees was essentially their anti-inflammatory drug. Frankincense contains boswellic acids that powerfully suppress inflammatory pathways in your body. Clinical studies show Boswellia extracts can reduce arthritis pain, improve joint function, and help manage inflammatory bowel conditions with minimal side effects.
And the list can go on and on I would get this book for your library
