nswer (continued from
last time): Dear Beryl,
last time I discussed those
differences. This time I'd like to
focus more on the use of herbs as
medicine.

Herbalism (a.k.a. herbal medicine
and phytotherapy, among
others) is the term often
used when referring to the
application of particular
e/ plant and plant extracts in
) a medicinal or curative
\
setting.

The practice of herbal-
ism is typically thought
of as part of the body of
non-scientific traditional
(a.k.a. indigenous or
folk) medicine, which
goes back at least to the
ancient Chinese (via a herb book
circa 2700 B.C.), and most likely
to prehistoric times courtesy of
our cousins, the Neanderthals.
Anthropologists theorize that some
animals practice their own form of
herbalism by selecting medicinal
plants based on their bitter taste.

Given the genealogy of medicinal
herbs, undoubtedly, there is medic-
inal efficacy to be found there—
the problem is in verifying it.

Before you embark on your own
program of herbal therapy, I
strongly recommend you consult
your physician and/or nutritionist.
