Why Medicinal Plants are so Effective & the Cornerstone of Most Pharmaceuticals

Scientific studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies have produced undeniable evidence that plants produce powerful chemicals with the ability to destroy bacteria, fungi, and viruses with incredible swiftness and ease.  These naturally occurring chemicals act as defense mechanisms against invading pathogens.  It is now widely known and recognized in the pharmaceutical industry that plants produce potent medicine, often far superior than can be replicated in the lab, as well as nutrition.

In a highly successful strategy for disease prevention, the leaves and barks contain incredibly powerful antimicrobial chemicals such as phenols, tannins, alkaloids, etc which act as an internal pharmacy.  Is it any wonder why trees can live to over 1,000 years?  These antimicrobial chemicals are released in distillation processes in highly concentrated and potent forms which in turn carry over wonderfully to the human system via oral or topical use.

Nature is our pharmacy and heals which explains why approximately 70% of all cancer drugs are synthesized from medicinal plants.  We have learned in the past and present to wield these healing powers.  Plants are the foundation of pharmacy.  Rain forests and mountainous fields are our medicine cabinet.  Day by day we understand more and more how to tap into these resources to provide highly effective remedies to treat illnesses.

As naturally occurring phytochemicals in medicinal plants inhibit a wide range of fungal, bacterial, and viral growth, they are valued for their medicinal properties and incorporated into a wide variety of treatments, both pharmaceutical and homeopathic.

We share the same evolutionary ladder as plants. Using  medicinal plants we are correcting the basics of the disease, moving to return the system back to its original state prior to the onset of illness, verse treating symptoms.  These treatments strengthen immune parameters and encourage your own cells to heal themselves.  This is not about treating symptoms but reversing the condition.  We take the cues from the environment.

Patients prefer this methodology over chemical drugs. The recovery rate and long term wellness of those using natural medicine vs chemical drugs provides hope for others.  Providing hope and real potential they will return back to the state of health prior to onset of infection or illness.  There is still a wealth of unknown health issues regarding long term side effects of prescription drugs, which are the true “alternative” medicines. 

This is the pharmacological effects of medicinal plants.  Depending on the types of chemicals you find in essential oils (medicinal plants) they are going to produce certain types of medicinal effects. Once you identify the chemotype of a medicinal plant you can predict the medicinal properties and therapeutic effect.

Plants serve as educators - they act as teachers in our evolution.  Humanity has a profound symbiotic relationship with plants.

Medicinal plants have tremendous impact to eradicate pathogens and bring the human system back to a state of wellness; they are the force that connects life which delivers not only well being but also precise healing to those in need.
