Herbal Medicine Prescott

Botanical or herbal medicines are derived from plants.

 

 

Plants may be eaten in their whole form, used as spices, brewed as tea, ground into powered and placed in capsules or distilled with alcohol to remove certain chemical and phytonutrients. Powders are often placed in capsules and alcohol extracts are called tinctures.

Botanical or herbal medicines are derived from plants. Nearly all of the pharmaceutical agents are a derivative of an isolated chemical constituent of a plant. This is the only way the drug can then be patented and synthesized. Historically, plants have been used in the whole form for thousands of years. When using the whole plant, often it not only the chemical constituent that creates the desired effect in the body but also other partnered constituents that protect the body from serious side effects.
