HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal medicine is the art and science of using plant-based medicines made from differing combinations of plant parts such as leaves, flowers or roots. Each part can have different medicinal uses and the many types of chemical constituents require different extraction methods. Both fresh and dried plant matter are used, depending on the herb.

Herbs have been used as medicine since the dawn of time and was based on empirical observation and trial and error to maintain good health and to alleviate ailments and disease.   Renewed interest in traditional medicinal plants has led to research being done on various plants which has borne out their importance to maintaining health.
Our body’s have an inherent ability to heal themselves and herbs help it to do this.
