Herbalism is defined as the use of plants (herbs) as medicine. Humans have used plants as medicines for many thousands of years, and only in the past couple hundred years – especially the last hundred – has the practice of herbalism been lost as a common technique for treating human disease. Herbalism is present in every culture in the world, and intricately linked to shamanic practice and ceremony. Holistic, natural medicine and herbal remedies have proven themselves to be efficacious, as bacteria, viruses and fungi do not mutate to develop resistance to the core chemical components in the herbal preparation, whether it be a poultice, tincture, tea or something else.
While the allopathic medicine that emerged from doctors of Western Culture has brought many wonderful treatments and cures, it has not been able to treat all the illnesses of humanity, but typically only addresses the symptoms. There is now a growing interest in natural medicines that provide an alternative to the “scientific” medicine, as we have come to know it in the last hundred years. We are broadening our ideas of how we humans can heal, and learning how to use the old herbal traditions to their highest potential.
There is a lot of material on herbal medicine, both on the Internet and in print, and with the growing popularity of alternative medicine in general, material on the use of herbs will only increase. As a result of this great flood of information it is important to make sure one is using good judgement and confirming the validity and safety of any herbal preparation before partaking in it. Keep your feet on the ground and do not expect any miracle cures.
