Herbs and Modern MedicineOld Traditions Return Today, there seems to be a growing trend to return to the old but proven ways of herbal medicines, as many people are looking for an alternative route to traditional medicines and cures. They may feel that modern conventional medicine isn't helping them or that the treatment may be too expensive or they may simply opt for a more natural holistic approach. There are thought to be well over 700,000 plants on earth and only a tiny fraction of them have ever been studied to determine their medical and healing properties as herbal medicines. Modern science breaks down the whole of the plant to find the basic active ingredient, and then isolates it for use in potential drug development, while excluding the rest of the plant. Herbalists, on the other hand, will look at the entire plant and realize that the medicinal and healing properties come from the interactions of all the parts working as a whole, and that many of these interactions, while still a mystery, are an important part of herbal medicine. |
