About

    Phytotherapy is a branch of natural medicine that involves using plant-based remedies to treat various health conditions and improve overall well-being. This practice has been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems around the world, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. Phytotherapy often involves the use of herbs, flowers, roots, and other plant parts to create remedies that can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled. Research in phytotherapy focuses on identifying the active compounds in plants, understanding their biological effects, and exploring their potential therapeutic benefits for a wide range of health issues. Phytotherapy is often used as a complementary or alternative treatment to conventional medicine.
