Herbal medicine involves the use of any or all of the different parts of
plants (roots, leaves, stems and seeds) to treat illnesses and maintain
health. Medicines are given to improve the body’s natural functions and to
restore a natural balance of health. Herbal medicines can be given in many
forms, such as liquids, infusions, tablets, creams and ointments.
Herbs are used in both Eastern and Western medicine. The aim is to use all
parts of the herb and particular emphasis is laid on the energetic content
of the herbs and its ability to stimulate healing. Thus the method of
picking the herb and the time of day can affect the potency. The whole herb
has a wider healing potential than the single active agent used by the
pharmaceutical industry.
