In recent years Herbal Medicine has seen a revival.
Herbs treat a multitude of physical and emotional conditions and can also support the body through any other form of treatment. 80% of the planet still use plants for their primary healthcare. Herbal Medicine today uses traditional systems and knowledge backed up by scientific research. Indeed, many of modern medicine's drugs are synthesised from components of plant remedies, one of the most commonly used examples of which is aspirin, derived from the native British plant Meadowsweet.

side effects. Plants are generally used in combination

Plants are often grouped into systems of the body or into actions they have. So, for example Thyme is a lung herb which is expectorant (helps to bring up mucous). A more traditional classification looks at corresponding herbs with planets according to their qualities or the effects they have on the body. Thyme has heating and drying qualities.
