The Other Medicine
“Standard” or “chemical” medicines
are often set up against phytotherapy. Yet there
is a place for each of them in the therapeutic
weaponry available to us nowadays. While it is a fact that “standard” pharmacy
has held center-stage for nearly a century because
of the excellent results that it has made it possible to achieve in
many spheres, nonetheless, little by little, unwanted side effects have
crept in that nowadays sound a call for caution.
“Health” medicines, the
fruits of phytotherapy, offer primary treatments whose gentler action
will help you to prevent illness and treat chronic problems such as
arthrosis or insomnia, for example. For this purpose, phytotherapy acts
in depth, without attacking the body and by stimulating good reactions.
The result: more effective and longer-lasting action, and above all
free from side effects.
Phytotherapy's success
Our era is deeply marked by the quest
for a healthier life, a return to nature, to essential values.
With its deep, gentle action, phytotherapy emerges as the ideal answer to the "modern-day ills" characteristic of our society, such as stress, sleep loss or weight gain.
Phytotherapy's success is also explained by the level of technical and scientific expertise nowadays achieved in this field. Agronomy, chemistry and pharmacology, as they advanced, have made it possible to develop safer, more suitable and more effective therapeutic and pharmaceutical forms.
Because their action is so gentle, the health medicines derived from phytotherapy are your day-to-day allies.
Children, like their parents, can thus enjoy phytotherapy's benefits. Do not hesitate to ask your pharmacist for advice. As a well-informed scientist, he will be able to guide your choice.
A Recognized Science
It was in 1986 that phytotherapy was officially recognised as a medicine in its own right by the Ministry of Health in France. By way of incontrovertible proof of their efficacy, the medicines recommended in phytotherapy all have specific active principle contents, which means that they contain active substances in greater or lesser, but always known, concentrations.
