WHAT DOES PHYTOTHERAPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

phytotherapy

Phytotherapy

Phytotherapy is the study of the use of extracts of natural origin as medicines or health-promoting agents. Phytotherapy medicines differ from plant-derived medicines in standard pharmacology. Where standard pharmacology isolates an active compound from a given plant, phytotherapy aims to preserve the complexity of substances from a given plant with relatively less processing. Phytotherapy is distinct from homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine, and avoids mixing plant and synthetic bioactive substances. Traditional phytotherapy is a synonym for herbalism and regarded as alternative medicine by much of Western medicine. Although the medicinal and biological effects of many plant constituents such as alkaloids have been proven through clinical studies, there is debate about the efficacy and the place of phytotherapy in medical therapies. Modern phytotherapy, following the scientific method, can be considered the study on the effects and clinical use of herbal medicines.
