Herbal medicine


HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal medicine 
(also called herbalism, phytomedicine or phytotherapy) is the study of
pharmacognosy and the use of medicinal plants , which are a basis of traditional
medicine .With worldwide research into pharmacology
, some herbal medicines have been translated into modern remedies, such as the
anti-malarial group of drugs called artemisinin isolated from Artemisia annua, a
herb that was known in Chinese medicine to treat fever. There is limited
scientific evidence
 for the safety and efficacy of many plants used in 21st-century herbalism,
which generally does not provide standards for purity or dosage.
 The scope of herbal medicine sometimes includes fungal and bee products, as
well as minerals shells and certain animal parts.

Paraherbalism describes alternative and pseudoscientific practices of using
unrefined plant or animal extracts as unproven medicines or health-promoting
agents. Paraherbalism relies on the belief that preserving various substances
from a given source with less processing is safer or more effective than
manufactured products, a concept for which there is no evidence.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the use of medicinal plants dates back to
the Paleolithic age, approximately 60,000 years ago. Written evidence of herbal
remedies dates back over 5,000 years to the Sumerians, who compiled lists of
plants. Some ancient cultures wrote about plants and their medical uses in books
called herbals. In ancient Egypt, herbs were mentioned in Egyptian medical
papyri, depicted in tomb illustrations, or on rare occasions found in medical
jars containing trace amounts of herbs.
 
In ancient Egypt, the Ebers papyrus dates from about 1550 BCE, and covers more
than 700 compounds, mainly of plant origin. The earliest known Greek herbals
came from Theophrastus of Eresos who, in the 4th century BCE, wrote
in Greek Historia Plantarum, from Diocles of Carystus who wrote during the 3rd
century BCE, and from Krateuas who wrote in the 1st century BCE. Only a few
fragments of these works have survived intact, but from what remains, scholars
have noted overlap with the Egyptian herbals. Seeds likely used for herbalism
were found in archaeological sites of Bronze Age China dating from the Shang
dynasty 
(c. 1600
 – c. 1046 BCE
). Over a hundred of the 224 compounds mentioned in the Huangdi Neijing, an
early Chinese medical text, are herbs. Herbs were also commonly used in
the traditional medicine of ancient India, where the principal treatment for
diseases was diet. De Materia Medica, originally written in Greek by Pedanius
Dioscorides (c.
 40
 – c. 90 CE) of Anazarbus, Cilicia, a physician and botanist, is one example of
herbal writing used over centuries until the 1600s.
The use of herbal remedies is more prevalent in people with chronic diseases,
such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, and end-stage kidney disease. Multiple factors
such as gender, age, ethnicity, education and social class are also shown to
have associations with the prevalence of herbal remedy use.
There are many forms in which herbs can be administered, the most common of
which is a liquid consumed as a herbal tea or a (possibly diluted) plant
extract.
Herbal teas, or tisanes, are the resultant liquid of extracting herbs into
water, though they are made in a few different ways. Infusions are hot water
extracts of herbs, such as chamomile or mint, through steeping. Decoctions are
the long-term boiled extracts, usually of harder substances like roots or
bark. Maceration is the cold infusion of plants with high mucilage-content, such
as sage or thyme. To make macerates, plants are chopped and added to cold water.
They are then left to stand for 7 to 12 hours (depending on the herb used). For
most macerates, 10 hours is used.
Tinctures are alcoholic extracts of herbs, which are generally stronger than
herbal teas. Tinctures are usually obtained by combining pure ethanol (or a
mixture of pure ethanol with water) with the herb. A completed tincture has an
ethanol percentage of at least 25% (sometimes up to 90%). Non-alcoholic
tinctures can be made with glycerin but it is believed to be less absorbed by
the body than alcohol based tinctures and has a shorter shelf life. Herbal wine
and elixirs are alcoholic extracts of herbs, usually with an ethanol percentage
of 12–38%. Extracts include liquid extracts, dry extracts, and nebulisates.
Liquid extracts are liquids with a lower ethanol percentage than tinctures. They
are usually made by vacuum distilling tinctures. Dry extracts are extracts of
plant material that are evaporated into a dry mass. They can then be further
refined to a capsule or tablet.
The exact composition of a herbal product is influenced by the method of
extraction. A tea will be rich in polar components because water is a polar
solvent. Oil on the other hand is a non-polar solvent and it will absorb
non-polar compounds. Alcohol lies somewhere in between.
Many herbs are applied topically to the skin in a variety of forms. Essential
oil extracts can be applied to the skin, usually diluted in a carrier oil. Many
essential oils can burn the skin or are simply too high dose used straight;
diluting them in olive oil or another food grade oil such as almond oil can
allow these to be used safely as a topical. Salves, oils, balms, creams, and
lotions are other forms of topical delivery mechanisms. Most topical
applications are oil extractions of herbs. Taking a food grade oil and soaking
herbs in it for anywhere from weeks to months allows certain phytochemicals to
be extracted into the oil. This oil can then be made into salves, creams,
lotions, or simply used as an oil for topical application. Many massage oils,
antibacterial salves, and wound healing compounds are made this way.
Inhalation, as in aromatherapy, can be used as a treatment.
