Herbs are used in many religions – such as in Christianity (myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), ague root (Aletris farinosa) and frankincense (Boswellia spp)) and in the partially Christianized Anglo-Saxon pagan Nine Herbs Charm. In Hinduism a form of Basil called Tulsi is worshipped as a goddess for its medicinal value since the Vedic times. Many Hindus have a Tulsi plant in front of their houses.
An herb given the classification of Religious Herb is one whose spiritual being has been recognized, and herb which has been honored and which we believe continues to merit this special attention. It is believed that herbs do not align themselves with any denomination, not even the Wiccan faith, and that an herb recognized as having religious significance by one people may readily be used by any other so long as they work to maintain the nature of the spiritual identity of the herb in a respectful manner.
