Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the use of plants to treat disease and enhance general health and wellbeing. It aims to return the body to a state of natural balance so that it can heal itself. Different herbs act on different systems of the body.

Many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines are also made from plant products, but these products contain only purified ingredients and are regulated by the FDA. Herbal supplements may contain entire plants or plant parts.

Herbal supplements come in all forms: dried, chopped, powdered, capsule, or liquid.
