Herbal Medicine harnesses the powerful healing properties of plants to restore health. It has been in use for many thousands of years, and today is still widely used throughout the world to treat many conditions. Here we explain the background to herbal medicine, answer some of your questions, and present a comprehensive list of herbal medicines available for minor ailments.

Scientific research into medicinal properties of plants is now confirming many of the ancient beliefs about the medicinal properties of various herbs. The methods used to select appropriate herbal medicines are similar to those used by modern medicine. The main difference is that herbal medicines are based on the plant as it is found in nature rather than on single chemical ingredients.

While herbal medicine can be a highly effective form of treatment, you must always consult your doctor or a qualified medical herbalist with any serious or recurring problems. If you have questions about Herbal Medicines, ask the Boots Pharmacist.
