Herbal medicine is the use of plants to treat disease. Herbal medicine works to bring the whole being back to a place of harmony and balance. The Western herbalist is trained in the same clinical diagnostic skills as an orthodox doctor. However, the overall approach to the illness involves looking at all aspects of the patient's life.
The history of herbal medicine spans the breadth of Humankind. The first documented herbal practices have been found by archaeologists researching Stone Age sites. Today herbal medicine is practiced throughout the world.
