Herbalism

Herbalism is a traditional, natural medicine system that focuses on the use of plants to treat physical, mental and emotional ailments, and to promote and maintain health and wellbeing. Herbal medicines are derived from plants and are naturally occurring, meaning they are free from the potentially-toxic synthetic compounds used in modern medicines. This makes them a safe, effective, and natural choice for treating a wide range of ailments – from minor skin conditions to serious medical conditions. Herbalism also has an important spiritual and philosophical dimension, with many practitioners believing that it is an important part of a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
