Conclusion
Introduction
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine. In fact, it has been used by people since the beginning of time. Today, there are still systems of herbal medicine that remain in use, such as Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine and Ayurveda that originated from India. Both of these systems make use of herbal combinations. In the West, however, herbal medicine focuses more on simple or individual herbs.
Herbal medicine is still used by about eighty percent of people all over the world. Elements of trees, shrubs, and plants are prepared as teas, poultices, and extracts. Herbs are actually the foundation of modern pharmacology. They have been used to produce modern forms of medicine. Morphine, for instance, is derived from poppy while aspirin is derived from the herb white willow back.
Similarly, a lot of medicines used to fight cancer are derived from herbs such as parsley, Madagascar periwinkle, and rosemary; but when did herbal medicines become prominent? Well, according to old records from the 1500 BC, the ancient Egyptians used juniper, myrrh, and garlic for medicinal purposes. In 1000 AD, herbs were used by the people of England to protect themselves against infections.

Chapter 1: History Of Herbal Remedies
During the Middle Ages, the citizens of Britain used herbs that they believed were ‘signed’ by God. Milk thistle, for example, was believed to be beneficial for nursing mothers due to the milk-like stains on its leaves. Dandelions were also believed to be ideal for jaundice due to the yellow color of their flowers. All throughout Europe, herbal medicine was also believed to be used by witches.
Since the thirteenth century, numerous women have been accused of using herbs for witchcraft. Men from medical schools and barber-surgeon guilds have also displaced traditional female herbalists. In the nineteenth century, chemistry has enabled people to use herbs better. Active ingredients were extracted from herbs, and the French word ‘drogue’ meaning ‘herb’ became the term for chemical drugs.
In America, herbal medicine first became popular when Samuel Thompson disapproved of the side effects of traditional medicine. He started the ‘root and herb’ medicinal approach, which was eventually brought by Albert Coffin to Britain. The National Association of Medicinal Herbalists was founded in 1864 and was renamed the National Institute of Medicinal Herbalists in 1945.
There have also been many women who became notable for their help in establishing herbal medicine. Abbess Hildegard, a German teacher, physician, and musician; Trotula, chairwoman of Salerno Medical School; Hilda Leyel, founder of the Herb Society; and Maud Grieve, a promoter of herbal medicine during World War I, were some of them.
In Southeast Asian and Indian cultures, herbal medicine
