What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal Medicine is the art and science of using herbs for promoting health and preventing and treating illness. 75% of the world's population still relies primarily upon traditional healing practices, most of which is herbal medicine.

Herbal medicine can be as easy as taking a spoonful of herbal bitters for gas and bloating after a heavy meal, or soaking in a bath with rosemary tea for headaches. For long-standing conditions such as gynecological problems or chronic fatigue, treatment could include daily herbal tonics and supplements, as well as dietary changes. Herbal medicine has the advantage of benefiting many parts of the body, often without the negative side effects that most pharmaceutical drugs have. Herbal medicine works to support the body to heal, not just treat symptoms.
