Nowadays when people think of medicine, they think of sterile factories making modern drugs to cure diseases. In fact up until the 19th century, plants and herbs were the only things capable of curing man's ailments. They continue to be important to people that do not have access to modern medicines, and modern medicines rely on the same ingredients, whether natural or synthetic. Even now, one third of drugs contain plant extracts and another third contain compounds derived from plants. That means that most of the modern-day medicines rely on plants and herbs.

If the active principles of synthetic drugs are so important and can be found in many plants and herbs, cheaply and easily bought, why not use them ? If taken in the appropriate dose and form, they can be as effective as pharmaceutical drugs.
