Botanical (Herbal) Medicine
Medicinal herbs and plants have been used for healing purposes for thousands of years and are the foundation of modern pharmacology. Many pharmaceutical drugs are derived from herbs including the well known heart medication 'Digitalis', which is made from the herb fox glove.
The healing properties of herbal remedies are specific to each plant and the active constituents in them. Herbs are used therapeutically to support various functions of the body including detoxification, elimination, enhancing immune function and fighting disease. Quality herbal remedies are recommended to treat various conditions and can be administered in many forms including capsule, tablet, tincture, fluid extract, cream and tea.
