The use of plants for healing is undoubtedly the world’s oldest and most comprehensive therapy . Since the dawn of humanity a knowledge of herbal remedies has been handed down from generation to generation. With the growth of artificial drug manufacture, the direct use of plants became unfashionable for a while, but in recent times there has been renewed interest in herbalism as a system of medicine that is safe and, natural and cheap.
The main purpose of herbal remedies is to activate the body’s own natural healing abilities by rebalancing and cleansing it. Like the artificial drugs of orthodox or ’ scientific’ medicine, many herbs also have antibiotic properties, but unlike the artificial ones they rapidly return the body to a healthy state without damaging side-effects, when correctly prescribed, herbs can be combined to heal any organ of the body unless it has been totally destroyed.
The earliest know records of medicinal herbs are from northern china and date from about 5000 years ago. Egyptian records go back almost as far and the herbs we can identify from these old records are still in use today. There is evidence that herbal remedies continued to form the major part of medical practice around the world for several millennia.
The coming of printing made possible an enormous range of books on herbalism—most notably Nicholas Culpeper’s Complete Herbal(1653). This reflected the huge demand for knowledge about medicinal plants.
However, from the 16th century onwards the split between herbalism and ’ scientific’ orthodox medicine became wider and wider. Swiss chemists started the use of chemical substances(which are always poisonous)and it became normal practice to use surgery in many areas. By the 19th century, although knowledge of herbalism had grown considerably, herbal cures were increasingly out of fashion.
About 40% of modern pre-packaged medicines now used in orthodox medical practice are artificial variations of plant ingredients and several well-known wonder drugs such as aspirin are in fact extracted from traditional medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, the process of extracting single ingredients, and using them singly, usually produces unwanted side-effects, because it destroys the balance of the whole herb.
Today, medical herbalists combine a detailed understanding of the human body with knowledge of vast list of herbal remedies. Furthermore, they are trained to search out the root cause of an illness. Many herbs will correct the symptoms temporarily but it takes an experienced practitioner to identify the cause. For this reason it is wisest to consult a professional, even if you have read about the value of a remedy and matched it to an illness.
