With more claims and researches validating the nutritional and health benefits of medicinal plants and herbs, there has been an increase in the use of these substances to spice, enrich foods and drinks globally. Especially in this part of the world, more people are embracing the idea of fortifying their health and immune system with medicinal plants and herbs. The efficacy of these substances is so widely acclaimed that many people use them as treatment for various ailments.

Studies have shown that turmeric could be beneficial for pain caused by inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, preventing cancer, stopping DNA mutations and several skin diseases, among other health benefits. All this notwithstanding, experts have pointed out that just as herbal medicines have health benefits, so also they can have some side effects, if not properly used. Like all other things, there is need for moderation and caution regarding use and storage.

“However, we know that even too much food can lead to illness. There is nothing you take too much of that will not cause a problem, but the medicinal plants are safe because they are food.” “There is actually no shelf life for medicinal plants, until when they get spoilt. And even if they are dry, they are still all right, but if rotten or spoilt, you don’t use them. Presently, there is no duration the medicines can stay before being discarded. Just like pepper and onion that don’t have shelf life until they get spoilt and are thrown away, medicinal plants and herbs can stay for long,” she said., Dr.
