Botanical Medicine
What is Botanical Medicine?
Botanical Medicine uses plants (leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and bark) to prevent illness and heal from disease. Botanical Medicine is the oldest evidence-based form of healing practiced by human beings. Even animals instinctually seek out and consume medicinal plants for their healing qualities.
Are Botanical Medicines safe and effective?
YES! There are 1000s of peer-reviewed clinical studies that provide empirical scientific evidence of the safety and efficacy of Botanical Medicines. A quick review of Pub Med will allay any concerns that Botanical Medicine might be an outdated form of healing based only on anecdotal evidence and superstition. Botanical Medicine is a safe, effective, natural, and economical method of treating common ailments and conditions.
Can Botanical Medicine replace pharmaceutical drugs?
Yes and no. In many instances, pharmaceutical drugs are simply a synthetic version of Botanical Medicine. Nature cannot be patented, and pharmaceutical companies can make no profit from plant medicines. On the other hand, some synthetic pharmaceutical products are miraculous, life-saving products that are best used during trauma and intense pain. However synthetic pharmaceutical products can cause negative reactions and long-term side effects. Botanical Medicines can be a safer choice for daily or occasional use when treating common ailments and conditions.
