Phytotherapy, or herbal medicine, is one of the oldest treatment methods in human history. It has held a privileged place in the treatment of diseases for centuries.
The Chinese widely integrated and applied herbal medicine with their traditional medical knowledge, namely acupuncture and dietetics. Scientists who have studied papyri have revealed that the Egyptians knew of the pain-relieving properties of poppy and that garlic was distributed to the workers building the pyramids for its strengthening properties.
Herbs, when used properly by experienced doctors, have very few drawbacks but yield quite good results; treatments for conditions such as nose-throat infections, neurovegetative disorders, venous problems, ailments arising from menopause, and rheumatism benefit from it. Phytotherapy can utilize the entire plant, or one or more of its parts.
Plant extracts obtained by boiling have replaced medicinal herbs, and capsules have replaced infusions. Phytotherapy, a treatment method as old as human history, undoubtedly still has a very bright future ahead. The complete secrets of various herbs have not yet been fully revealed.
