Herbal Medicine is the oldest medicine and it has been used in all cultures of the world for a thousand of years, which has the inherent healing properties of plants as medicine. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 75% of the world’s population use herbal remedies as part of their primary health care.

Mankind is fortunate to have access to many high quality standardized herbal medicines in the form of dried herbs, extracts, tinctures, powders and tablets. The parts of the plant used include roots, seeds, leaves, flowers, stems and indeed the whole plant depending on the herb. Each part of the plant can have a different medicinal use. Manufacturers use different ways of extracting the chemicals from the plant parts. They use fresh and dried plants to make the medicine.
