Plant medicines: a herbalist's perspective
by Dragana Vilinac
World Review of Science, Technology and Sustainable Development (WRSTSD), Vol. 5, No. 2, 2008

Abstract: Statutory regulation will enable practitioners of herbal medicine to become a significant contributor to empowering the nation's health. Herbal medicine's central ethos – it is healing ecology – enables the individual to take responsibility and provides tools to actively engage in a healing process. Phytotherapy – use of medicinal plants as a part of healing regime can bring radical change to patient's expectations and the way the medical community operates. Health as an active state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being, must be viewed in the light of interdependence with all communities of life on Earth.
