The Health Benefits of Chives

Some plants carry with them not only healing power, but deep history, passed down through generations, cherished across cultures, and celebrated in both ancient texts and modern research.

When most people think of Chives, they picture a sprinkle of green on top of a baked potato. But this unassuming herb has a much richer story, and some fascinating science behind it.

Modern research is confirming what herbalists have known for a long time.

Stay curious, stay natural, and keep exploring the world of herbal healing.
