What are some traditional uses of plants in different cultures

[JenniferAnthony]

Sure! Different cultures have used plants for all sorts of things over the years. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine, they use herbs like ginseng and ginger for their healing properties. In many Indigenous cultures in North America, plants like sage and sweetgrass are used in rituals and for cleansing purposes. Plus, in Mediterranean cultures, olive leaves have been used not just for cooking but also for their supposed health benefits. It's pretty cool how plants play such a big role in so many traditions!
