Ayurvedic - Phytotherapeutic

Nature at the service of healing ailments and needs

Phytotherapy is a medical practice based on science and is therefore distinguished from other, more traditional approaches, such as herbal medicine, which is based on the empirical assessment of medicinal herbs and which is often associated with traditional knowledge. An herbalist's approach has generally not been evaluated in controlled clinical trials or rigorous biomedical studies, while there are numerous trials and pharmacological studies of specific herbal preparations.

The interpretation and acceptance of such evidence for phytotherapeutic practices varies. In some countries, it is considered sufficient to license herbal products as medicines, while in other countries, herbal medicine is considered as a form of traditional medicine.

There are many phytotherapeutic preparations in use. Examples include preparations derived from the leaves of ginkgo(Ginkgo biloba), which are used to treat a range of minor cognitive disorders and some other central nervous system disorders. the aerial parts of hypericum(St. Johnswort; Hypericum perforatum), which are commonly used in the treatment of mild to moderate forms of depression. the aerial parts and roots of Echinacea angustifolia (and other Echinacea species), used for the treatment and prevention of the common cold and other respiratory diseases, and parts of the Harpagophytum procumbens, the root of which is used to treat chronic lower back pain.
