Pharmaceuticals are quite different. On the one hand, it saves people's lives and on the other - often causes new diseases. Meanwhile, in many cases there is no need to resort to the potent chemicals, in fact, literally under our feet grow pills, created by nature. According to experts of the World Health Organization, complications from drug therapy annually kill about one percent of the world's population. Many more people suffer from side effects that reduce quality of life and initiate pathological processes. An alternative to conventional drug therapy is phytotherapy, that is, treatment plants. Components included in the medicinal plants exhibit medicinal properties, comparable with the effect of conventional drugs, and offer fewer side effects. Herbal medicine is often referred to as folk medicine and on this basis people conclude that it is an unscientific method of treatment. Traditional medicine should be seen as a body of knowledge, skills, traditions, habits and techniques, which use the inhabitants of a particular place for treatment, prevention and rehabilitation. Phytotherapy is available to everyone. This is the key to our health and happiness. It is not necessary to oppose the traditional skills of the relevant areas of medicine, properly considered them as the initial stage of a high ladder of expertise.
