Herbal medicine is the use that can be made of plants in different forms: herbal tea, capsules or tincture for preventive and curative treatment.

Over 2500 years ago, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, already praised the healing properties of herbs.

Today, herbal medicine is an integral part of several traditional medicines such as Chinese medicine which very often uses a varied number of plants for the concoction of “potions”.

Although still controversial on some aspects, herbal medicine is universally recognized: it is estimated that nearly 25% of drugs are made from a plant base. Man has always experimented with remedies from the plant world. Some have even become great classics of modern pharmacopoeia: how many people today know that morphine is extracted from the poppy, and that aspirin comes from the willow?
