Native herbs are plants that naturally grow in a specific region without human introduction. They have adapted to the local climate, soil, and ecosystem, making them well-suited for their environment. These herbs often play a crucial role in supporting local wildlife and maintaining ecological balance. Many native herbs are used in traditional medicine and cooking, offering unique flavors and health benefits. For example, sage and wild mint are common native herbs in North America, valued for their culinary uses and medicinal properties. Preserving these plants helps sustain biodiversity and cultural heritage.
