Health is the most important thing in life. Everyone wants to be healthy and happy. Modern people often suffer from various diseases. Medicine is constantly creating more advanced methods of treatment. Many people prefer to use herbal medicine. Phytotherapy is medicine based on natural components. Plants and herbs are a part of such things. They are safety for health - they do not contain harmful substances. Phytotherapy has been known since ancient times. Even then people knew the medicinal properties of plants. Many people prefer to use herbal medicine instead of the usual means of treatment.
Man has always needed medical factors that enable the human body to artificially enhance its viability, to resist infection and to eliminate damage and during nearly all the human history plants were essential pills.
Nature created a subtle mechanism that can support the livelihoods of almost any conditions of the Earth and according to the concept of nature, herbals and animals may serve as food for a man. Consequently, they provide a comprehensive set of tools for maintenance and regulation of activity. People ate the plant, which refers to the herbal medicine. People rubbed the skin in certain places - this is a reflex. Man pulled a thorn - it is surgery. Man took delivery - this is the obstetrics and gynecology. Medicine was born simultaneously with the first human.
Gradually the person has accumulated experience of the beneficial effects on the body of food and certain plants. There were people who specialized in the treatment of a man. That was the beginning of medicine and pharmacology. Nature gave men the key to health. The use of plants for medicinal purposes was the beginning of phytotherapy. Can we call the science that physicians did many centuries ago? Of course, we do, because they did it intelligently, using specific knowledge and practical experience. They could use only those skills that were available to them in those days. The main principle was the practice of treatment.
