What Is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine is plant-based and made from a combination of plant parts, such as leaves, flowers or roots. Each part of the plant has its own medicinal use. Both fresh and dried plants are used, depending on the herb and client preferences. Many of today’s drugs are based on simple constituents extracted from plants, but whole plants contain thousands of chemicals. Herbalists believe that the simple active constituents of plants are balanced, and made safer and more effective by the presence of these other chemicals. Not only are whole plants used, but usually combinations of plants are prepared as formulas specifically designed to meet the needs of the individual client to heal the body naturally.
