Herbal medicine is the oldest known form of medicine. Herbal plants have been utilised for their medicinal properties by every culture and have historically provided the foundation of medical practice.
Herbal medicine, or phytotherapy, is the science of using medicinal plant remedies to treat and prevent illness and to maintain natural good health.
In general herbal remedies act to integrate and balance the body's physiology and enhance its intrinsic health and vitality. Any condition that is medically treatable, body, mind or spirit will benefit from herbal medicine.
Frequently phytotherapy (herbal remedies) can successfully treat the same diseases that drugs are prescribed for with a much lower risk of side effects, interactions and/or adverse reactions.
