There is a lot of mysticism behind it. The approach involves: “balancing” the body’s vital energy; the belief that it can treat anything; it is holistic, which is the reason given why no two practitioners will prescribe the same treatment for exactly the same condition in the same person; and they insist that it is natural and therefore safe.
There is no doubt that herbs contain chemical compounds, often many thousands, many of which have a physiological effect on the body. In fact up to 25% of modern medicines are based on plant origins: Aspirin; Quinine; and Digitalis, for example, are well known.
