Herbalism (Phytotherapy)

Plant medicine is thought to be the oldest system of medicine in the world - knowledge has passed by word of mouth and historical documents. It is used both to treat and prevent illness, focussing on the underlying causes rather than the symptoms. Nutritional and lifestyle advice is part of the treatment.
