Phytomedicine is modern and science based herbal medicine at its very best. Phytomedicine applies scientific research and the highest professional standards to the practice of herbal medicine. It takes its name from the word used in other parts of Europe, where plant based medicines continue to be provided by doctors and pharmacists as 'phytomedicines'. Qualified Phytotherapists use herbs from around the world, and choose the most effective herbs from the best quality sources. Phytomedicine encourages and adapts to a recent worldwide growth in scientific information on plant drugs and their effective and safe use. The methods used to evaluate plant based medicines are similar to those used by orthodox medicine. Yet, a herb contains many active chemicals, unlike conventional drugs, which focus on specific chemicals. Hence botanical or herbal medicines may combine several actions to support the body's health. Botanical drugs are safe for most conditions.
