About Herbal Medicine
What are Herbal Supplements?
Plant-based products used to treat diseases or to maintain health, are called herbal products, botanical products, or phytomedicines. A product made from plant sources and used only for internal use is called an herbal supplement.
Many prescription medicines and over-the-counter medicines are also made from plant products. But these products contain only purified ingredients. Herbal supplements may contain entire plants or plant parts.
Herbal supplements come in all forms. They may be dried, chopped, powdered, or in capsule or liquid form. They can be used in many ways, including:
- Swallowed as pills, powders, or concentrated liquid extracts (tinctures)
- Used on the skin as gels, lotions, or creams
- Added to bath water
- Brewed as tea
