Over the centuries, herbs have been used for aromatherapy, healing and food - either as medicine or condiments to spice up dishes. Phytotherapy – the use of plants and flowers for comfort food or healing has provided orthodox medicine with many traditional but powerful drugs like aspirin (from willow tree).

Medical doctors traditionally have been reluctant to embrace natural and herbal healing, though the use of herbal mixtures dates from the earliest written records, the Ayurvedic texts.

Why?

First, doctors trained decades ago weren't taught about herbal or natural healing in medical school, and many don't wish to take the time now to learn about it or even take it seriously once they're practicing. Instead, they would often simply dismiss natural healing - even though herbal and natural methods are the basis of much of today's modern medicine in North America and around the globe.

Second, doctors and patients have a curious relationship to pharmaceutical companies - doctors are used to prescribing something to nearly everyone they see, and in fact, most patients demand it. Patients want a cure, and now because they have seen it on the Internet or television, or heard it announced on radio, can often specifically name a medicine. Doctors prescribe what their pharmaceutical salesmen have presented to them. In this scenario, there is no room for herbal or natural healing.

How are herbs/botanicals commonly sold and prepared?

Botanicals are sold in many forms: as fresh or dried products; liquid or solid extracts; and tablets, capsules, powders, and tea bags. For example, fresh ginger root is often found in the produce section of food stores; dried ginger root is sold packaged in tea bags, capsules, or tablets; and liquid preparations made from ginger root are also sold. A particular group of chemicals or a single chemical may be isolated from a botanical and sold as a dietary supplement, usually in tablet or capsule form. An example is phytoestrogens from soy products.

Common preparations include teas, decoctions, tinctures, and extracts:

A tea, also known as an infusion, is made by adding boiling water to fresh or dried botanicals and steeping them. The tea may be drunk either hot or cold.

Some roots, bark, and berries require more forceful treatment to extract their desired ingredients. They are simmered in boiling water for longer periods than teas, making a decoction, which also may be drunk hot or cold.

A tincture is made by soaking a botanical in a solution of alcohol and water. Tinctures are sold as liquids and are used for concentrating and preserving a botanical. They are made in different strengths that are expressed as botanical-to-extract ratios (i.e., ratios of the weight of the dried botanical to the volume or weight of the finished product).

An extract is made by soaking the botanical in a liquid that removes specific types of chemicals. The liquid can be used as is or evaporated to make a dry extract for use in capsules or tablets.
