A(n) herb (pronounced /'h??b/ or /'?b/; see pronunciation differences) is a plant that is valued for qualities such as medicinal properties, flavor, scent, or the like [1]. Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual usage. General usage differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. In medicinal or spiritual use any of the parts of the plant might be considered "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark (cambium), berries and sometimes the pericarp or other portions. Culinary use of the term "herb" typically distinguishes between herbs, from the leafy green parts of a plant, and spices, from other parts of the plant (including seeds, berries, bark, root, fruit, and even occasionally dried leaves). Culinary herbs are distinguished from vegetables in that like spices they are used in small amounts and provide flavor rather than substance to food. Some herbs are shrubs (such as rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis), or trees (such as bay laurel, Laurus nobilis)&_160;– this contrasts with botanical herbs, which by definition cannot be woody plants.

Out of all the herbs I have grown, basil has been my biggest mistake. Lucky for me, basil is my favorite herb, so I can always be sure I have plenty on hand. I love putting basil in all my sauces and, of course, making pesto sauce.

One of the most prescribed antidepressants in the world is actually a plant. Saint John's Wort is an herb with effects on the brain's neurochemistry related to mood.
