Herbalism
is a traditional medicinal or folk medicine practice based on the use of
plants and plant extracts. Herbalism is also known as botanical
medicine, medical herbalism, herbal medicine, herbology, and
phytotherapy. The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes
extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as
minerals, shells and certain animal parts.
Many plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance
of health in humans and other animals. These include aromatic
substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted
derivatives such as tannins. Many are secondary metabolites,
of which at least 12,000 have been isolated — a number estimated to
be less than 10% of the total. In many cases, these substances
(particularly the alkaloids) serve as plant defense mechanisms
against predation by microorganisms, insects, and herbivores. Many of
the herbs and spices used by humans to season food yield
useful medicinal compounds.
