Some beneficial herbs that we commonly use today were also known in Biblical times like mint, dill and cumin.
Jesus reproved the scribes in Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices - mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law - justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."
