Medicinal Plants, Herbs

Phytotherapy is modern herbal medicine at its best. Traditional phytotherapy is often used as synonym for herbalism and regarded as "alternative medicine" by much of Western medicine.

Phytotherapy is based on the oldest and most universal system of medicine. Every early civilisation used plants as their main source of medicine, and most of the world’s population still rely on them today. Around a quarter of all pharmaceutical drugs currently prescribed by doctors were originally derived from plants.
