Botanical and Herbal Medicine
Botanical Medicine is the use of plants for medicinal purposes. Plants can be used on the skin (topically), taken by mouth (orally) as tea, supplement, lozenge (like mints that melt), tincture (plant medicine properties extracted in alcohol or glycerin), or by suppository (melts in rectum or vaginal canal). Plants have been used as medicine for hundreds of years, with many traditions using plants to eat for nutrition and also heal themselves and their communities. Plant medicine is also very strong and some plants can be quite powerful. It’s important to consult an experienced provider when ingesting any form of plant medicine in a prescriptive way.
