Botanicals have a long history in medicine and have been the inspiration behind a multitude of pharmaceutical medications as well. An important point to recognize is that by working with a whole herb is that our knowledge is still limited in the understanding of the phytochemistry and pharmacology of every constituent present in a plant. This means that while we often can isolate a single compound and track that effect on the body we don't always understand the roles that the other compounds play together (termed as synergy). Synergy allows&nbsp;all of the constituents in a plant to work as nature intended and often without many of the&nbsp;negative side effects compared to their pharmaceutical counterparts. Most botanical medicines work gently and in line with the needs of the body which makes them a very effective form of medicine for most ailments and conditions.
