What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbs were the first drugs used by humanity. Our ancestors knew what plants to use as medicine and we can enhance this today in society. Alternative medicine could work hand-in-hand with pharmaceutical medicine as many modern drugs already contain natural herbal remedies. Some healing therapies include nutrition, a well-balanced diet, vitamins, exercise, walking in nature, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, massage, aromatherapy with essential oils, homeopathy and naturopathy.
