Imagine how beautiful the world would be without cancer stories, one of the most devastating diseases of the 20th and 21st century.
Or without diabetes, another disease that is not as mortal as cancer, but it is devastating for the patient and his closest family.
And if more people knew about this magical all-heal herb, that world just might be possible.
Few people know the benefits of Prunella Vulgaris, a herb that is popularly known as the ?all-heal herb?.

The plant is extremely common, and you can find it almost worldwide. The plant grows up to 15 inches when in the wild, but only up to 1 inch in your lawn.
There are two varieties of the plant according to botanists.
The first one is the European species, called also vulgaris, while the North American gets the name ?lanceolate?.
