Herbal Medicine Herbal Medicine has been practiced by all cultures all over the world. Its roots lie deep in the history of human evolution; and it has been postulated that the capacity of plant medicines to effect positive change in the human constitution, is due to the fact human biochemistry and plant biochemistry have evolved together over many millennia. The active ingredients in medicinal plants are therefore able to interact with human biochemistry in a way that synthetic compounds are not able. Our herbal tradition originated in the long and complex history of European plant medicine. With European migration to the Americas and subsequent contact between the new arrivals and Native Americans, many indigenous medicinal plants were assimilated into the Western Herbal Pharmacopeia. In more recent times, as research expands our understanding of plant biochemistry, medicinal plants from other traditions, such as Ayurvedic Medicine (Indian) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are being incorporated into our clinical practice.
