Herbalism

The Art & Science of using whole plants as therapeutic medicine.

Plants and Herbal medicine have been used for the millenia by every culture across the globe, with knowledge passed down through the generations. Plants and their effects have also been studied extensively, and have proven actions on the human body, most commercially produced medicines are plant derivatives or synthetic versions of plant constituents.
