What Is Botanical Medicine?
Botanical medicine, also known as herbal medicine or herbalism, is a system that leverages the healing properties of plants and herbs. Whether ingested or applied to the skin, herbal remedies offer an entirely natural array of health benefits and treatments for a wide variety of health conditions.
Cultures from around the world have relied on herbalism for thousands of years to assist in bodily functions, as well as to prevent and treat illness. Herbal treatments come in the form of extracts, tinctures, capsules and teas.
Modern Western botanical medicine uses plants and herbs to prevent, manage and cure specific medical conditions. The Eastern approach to botanical medicine focuses on helping the body restore its balance through cooling, heating, calming or stimulating the body’s organ systems.
