HERBS/HERBALISTS
Herbal medicine, also known as Botanical medicine or Phytotherapy, is the most ancient form of healthcare known to humans. Over 80% of the world still uses herbs as their main source of health care and about 25% of prescription drugs are still derived from some form of plants or plant extracts. Different systems of herbal medicine include Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine and Western Herbal medicine. See also listings under ACUPUNCTURE for practitioners of Traditional Chinese medicine.
