What is Herbal Medicine?
​
Herbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine, refers to using a plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, flowers and bark for medicinal purposes.
​
Plants have been used for their medicinal properties long before recorded history, in all cultures throughout the world.
​
Early in the 19th century when chemical analysis became available scientists began to extract and modify plant compounds, that also became the base for many pharmaceutical drugs
