I am wondering if any of you have heard of herbal medicine? And if you do, do you use any?

The reason why I am asking is I am doing a project about herbal medicine and in a way also remedies. I want to find out if people still practice herbal medicine in todays modern society. If you have any remedies that work for you or herbs that work for you please contact me on this site. Your replies are greatly appreciated thank you for your time!
