Organic : Involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or
other artificial chemicals.
Herbal : relating to or made from herbs, especially those used in cooking and medicine. Or any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavouring, food, medicine, or perfume. Herbal medicines refer to medicines that are prepared from plants for their medicinal value. These plants can be grown naturally, using either chemical or organic means (explained below). Organic medicines, on the other hand, mean medicines that are prepared and handled using organic means. They can have ingredients that have animals sources also. In organic production, there is no use of chemicals during the entire production, processing, and preservation processes. No chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or preservatives are used for making these organic medicines or their ingredients. Therefore,organic medicine is not necessarily herbal medicine and the opposite also holds true. Let us examine an example. When you buy something like Triphala, which is a very popular Aryuvedic herbal medicine made from the three fruits Amalaki, Vibhitaki, and Haritaki, it can be made using the fruits on which chemical pesticides may be sprayed during the growth of the fruits. Similarly, when you buy organic fish oil capsules, which are considered an organic medicine, the oil is obtained from fish that are grown without the use of any chemicals. The feed given to the fish is also grown without the use of any chemicals. In that way, you know that fish oil is not a herbal medicine.
