The vast majority of the herbs covered in the past 20 months have had antibacterial and/or antiviral effects--effects that may be crucial in a collapsed society.

But herbs have other actions to conditions that don't need antimicrobial substances. Like it or not, when life gets sporty, especially as it has this year with COVID-19 and the riots in May and June, mental health issues also come into play. And I'm not talking about schizophrenia and bipolar issues, but the everyday stuff like anxiety and stress and how they affect us and others.
