Phytotherapy

Phytotherapy, also known as herbal medicine, is an ancient science that focuses on the use of plants and herbs to support health. This approach is not new; in fact, its roots can be found in both Western and non-Western cultures, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda.

Long before modern medicine, our ancestors relied on the healing powers of plants. Take willow bark, for example, which was used as a natural pain reliever for centuries before acetaminophen was developed.

Although the rise of synthetic drugs in the 19th century diminished the attention paid to herbal medicine, phytotherapy has continued to develop over time. Many herbs used in phytotherapy have been the subject of extensive scientific research and are still used for various health conditions.

And there are plenty of pharmaceutical companies investing in research into herbs from non-Western cultures, hoping to discover new medicines. This shows that the value of phytotherapy is being recognized. It is no surprise that more and more people are becoming interested in the benefits of natural herbs and plants for their well-being.
