Phytotherapy, also known as herbal medicine, is one of the oldest medical systems, using parts of plants, such as leaves, flowers, roots, and bark, to support health and treat disease. The unique strength of phytotherapy lies in the plant’s complex blend of bioactive compounds that work synergistically to aid healing in the body.
Each plant has specific properties that may have anti-inflammatory, calming, antioxidant, or antiviral effects. Phytotherapy can support the immune system, aid digestion, relieve stress, and balance hormones. Remedies may be used as tinctures, teas, capsules, or salves, always tailored to the individual’s needs.
How is phytotherapy used in Mesology?
In mesology, phytotherapy is integrated into a holistic diagnostic process. The mesologist examines the mental and physical aspects of your health and selects specific herbal remedies based on this unique picture. These remedies support systems such as digestion, immunity, hormonal balance, or the nervous system, all in line with your personal constitution and complaints.
Natural, Safe and Effective
Phytotherapy is widely recognized as a safe and effective natural treatment, especially when prescribed professionally. With its deep-rooted history and growing scientific validation, herbal medicine is a powerful tool to support the body’s self-healing ability.
