Phytotherapy
The
healing power of plants
In the phytotherapy (greek
phyton=plant, therapeia=care) or herbal medicine, one of the oldest
therapy forms, ailments are being treated with the help of active
ingredients of plants.
Description
of the method:
Generally herbal
preparations have a wider range of efficacy and less side effects than
synthetic medicine.
The phytotherapy is, like
the homeopathy, a special therapy form, that
apart from natural scientific standard of evaluation consults existing
experience material.
Different from homeopathy,
the effect of herbal
preparations can be explained within the natural scientific world view.
An important difference in this regard is the dose
rate-effect-relationship: the higher the dosage in phytotherapy, the
stronger the effect, whereas in homeopathy it is the direct inverse.
Fields of
application:
The phytotherapy is well
indicated to treat different illnesses, like emotional irritation,
stomach problems, gastrointestinal disorders, or pain in the stomach
area. With common colds and light infections the phytotherapy is
frequently applied.
In dermatology different herbal preparations are being used. Skin
deseases, burns, eczema and wounds can be treated with phytotherapy.
