Adam and Eve lived in heaven and they were familiar neither about the disease nor suffering; once they were expelled then they discovered misery and disease. Ever since ancient times, in search for the rescue of their disease, people looked for drugs in nature. The beginning of the medicinal plant's use was instinctive, as is the case similar to animals (Stojanoski, 1999). In fact, in those times there was no sufficient information either concerning the reasons for the illnesses or concerning which plant and how it could be utilized as a preventive remedy—everything was based on experience. In time, the usage of specific medicinal plants for the treatment of specific diseases was discovered; thus, the medicinal plants’ usage gradually increased the empirical framework and became explicatory facts. The plants had been the source of treatment and prophylaxis until the advent of iatrochemistry in the 16th century (Kelly, 2009). Necessity is the mother of invention, therefore, since ancient times man has searched for remedies to combat several diseases. Historically, man has explored nature for two major needs: food for survival and herbs for relieving of pain and diseases. The ancient civilizations used herbs or mixtures of them named as corpus therapeuticum as a comprehensive treatment of diseases. One of these components was Ebers papyrus. The medicinal herbs that were used in Egyptian culture were explained in the E. papyrus in about 1550 bc. German Egyptologist Dr. George Ebers purchased the papyrus in Thebes in 1872 and explored its components and described it as an extraordinary value. Indian Ayurveda (“science and knowledge of life”) was discovered and has been implicated in India since thousands of years back, 900 bc (Ebbell, 1937)
