What is Herbal Medicine?
Most of the world’s population still rely on herbal medicine for their primary healthcare, and whilst we may have forgotten much of our traditional wisdom in the developed world, until 100 years ago doctors regularly prescribed herbal medicines and every person could identify and use plant remedies for simple ailments. Healing plants are all around you every time you go for a walk in nature, and most gardens ‘weeds’ have medicinal properties. The plant world provides us with the oxygen we breath the foods we eat, and all the medicines we need.
Medicinal plants contain active phytochemicals (plant chemicals), hundreds in every plant, giving them broad and complex powers to fight disease and promote better health. Many of these chemicals have been well researched and used to develop pharmaceuticals, but nothing beats the complex natural chemistry of whole plants to support the body holistically.
