What is phytotherapy?
Phytotherapy, or herbal medicine, uses the natural active ingredients from plants to relieve symptoms and promote well-being. This treatment method is based on centuries of experience and is now supported by scientific studies. The extracts from plants such as leaves, roots and flowers contain valuable ingredients that have a proven medicinal effect.
The advantage of phytotherapy is its gentle action: it uses the healing power of nature and offers mild but effective support, without the risks that synthetic drugs can entail. It is suitable for both local/topical and internal use.
Phytotherapy can be used very well as a complementary therapy to synthetic medications as there is hardly any risk of interactions.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like cures like". Highly diluted substances are used to activate the body's self-healing powers. These substances are often so diluted that no molecular residues of the original ingredients can be detected.
Homeopathy is often used for chronic illnesses or minor complaints, but is not scientifically based. Many users report positive effects, but the exact mechanisms of action remain controversial.
