Herbal Treatments.
Herbalism is a form of treatment that is said to be as old as mankind
itself, it is interesting to notice that this most ancient form of
medicine is coming back to challenge the most sophisticated system of
medicine in the world's history. Today, the World Health Organisation
estimates that, worldwide, herbal medicine is three to four times more
commonly practised than conventional medicine.
The crucial difference
between medical herbalists and today's orthodox doctor is, firstly,
that the herbalist looks at the patient as a whole being with connecting body parts, where a fault in one part could lead to defects in other parts, (the fact that you have a headache does not necessarily mean it is the head that has a fault); while conventional
doctors look for symptoms which enable them to diagnose and treat
disease which they think is attacking the symptomatic part. Secondly, the medical herbalist is using whole
plants or plant products containing active constituents, while doctors
use these constituents in refined and isolated forms or synthetics.
