“Standard” or
“chemical” medicines are
often set in contrast to phytotherapy. Yet
there is a place for each in the
therapeutic weaponry available in today's world.
"Standard” pharmaceuticals have
held center-stage for nearly a century
because of the excellent results that
they have achieved in many areas. However, little by little, unwanted
side effects have crept into many standard
pharmaceutical products. This sounds a note of caution.
“Natural Health” products, the
fruits of phytotherapy, offer primary
treatments whose gentler action will
help prevent illness and treat
numerous chronic problems. Phytotherapy acts
in depth by stimulating beneficial responses and without attacking the body. The
results are more effective and
longer-lasting action free from side effects.
Phytotherapy's success
Our era is deeply marked
by the quest for a healthier life, a
return to nature, to essential
values.
With its deep, gentle action,
phytotherapy emerges as an ideal
answer to modern-day ills that characterize of our society, such as
stress, sleep loss, and weight gain.
Phytotherapy's success is also
explained by the high level of technical and
scientific expertise that has been achieved
in the field. Agronomy, chemistry and
pharmacology have progressed to the point where it
is now possible to develop safer, more
suitable, and more effective therapeutic
and pharmaceutical components.
Because their action is so gentle, the
health medicines derived from
phytotherapy can be your day-to-day
allies. Children, like their parents,
can thus enjoy phytotherapy's
benefits. Do not hesitate to ask
your pharmacist for advice. As a
well-informed medical specialist, he
will be able to guide your
choice.
A Recognized Science
It was in 1986 that
the French Ministry of Health officially recognized phytotherapy
as a medicine in its own right. The medicines recommended in phytotherapy all have specific active
principal contents, which means they
contain active substances in always known
concentrations.
