Herbal medicine in English
English for herbal medicine: herbal medicine; medicinal herbs.
Herbal medicines are made using plant extracts and are mainly used for their therapeutic value. This is because most plants contain chemical elements that have physical treatments such as healing.
Herbal medicine is the oldest form of health care and played an important role in ancient times. Modern medicine has evolved to a point where it was still an unheard of technique in the beginning.
Primitive humans used the vast flora around them to maximize the observation of plants and animals and their parts, and herbal medicine was finally born.
In a study by the World Health Organization, it was shown that for about 80 percent of the world's population still relies on herbs to treat some kind of ailment, and about 74 percent of the medicines we use today contain at least one botanical molecule.
For example, the use of ephedra in herbal medicine to treat the respiratory system still exists. Ephedra still has the majority of commercially prescribed medications that can be used to reduce asthma symptoms.
