 The use of plant medicine is core to Naturopathic practice. Using whole plants or constituents has always been a primary or secondary part of medicine. Many herbs are powerful medicines that are safe and effective when used properly . The pharmacology and therapeutic implications of herb use is well understood and has long been a part of standard pharmacy.
Botanical medicines are used in both traditional herbal formulations and as phytomedicines, which are scientifically researched and formulated. A resurgence of scientific research in Europe and Asia is demonstrating that some plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in clinical situations.
