Benefits of Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine is an alternative medicinal practice based on the use of plants or plant extracts. While some refer to botanical medicine as such, it is also referred to as herbal medicine or herbalism, and in some cases as a "natural dietary supplement." The use of botanical medicine(s) can be used as a primary (before disease or injury), secondary (reduce effects of disease or injury), or tertiary (lessens the impact of illness or injury) prevention-based care. The benefits of botanical medicine, despite its being considered an "alternative" medicinal practice, has been integrated into the lives of many cultures to ensure balance of the different dimensions of health. It has been proven to be beneficial for hundreds of years in different countries around the world. Despite there being a high skepticism towards the use of botanical medicine, it has continued to become increasingly popular in the United States.
