Human beings have used plants, plant constituents, herbal preparations, and finished herbal products for centuries and for a variety of purposes, among others as foods; for clothing and shelter; as medicinal agents;
as stimulants, narcotics, and hallucinogens; to prepare poisonous arrow- and spearheads for warfare and hunting; and as dyes, aromatics, and cosmetics. The latter use dates back to ancient times, and virtually all
