Herbal medicine (Herbalism): Herbal Remedies Facts, Prescriptions, Tips

Herbalism (also herbal medicine) is the study of botany and use of plants intended for medicinal purposes. Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today.
Herbal medicine is considered by many to offer an alternative treatment for various diseases, particularly lifestyle diseases that require lifelong pharmaceutical medication and thus raises safety concerns. It is also believed by traditional medical practitioners that the phytoconstituents present in herbal medicine have better compatibility with the human system.
