The main difference is that the use of herbal medicine uses the whole plant or part of the plant and manages it in its full form dissolved in water or alcohol to keep it properly, stored and delivered easily:
The medical profession took what they considered active ingredients from a plant, ‘reproduced’ the chemical structure, therefore synthetically, and reproduced the chemical structures in a laboratory, in order to preserve and store them.
The rule of thumb with the natural form of medicine, herbal, homoeopathic Arborivital etc. Is the natural form can only be processed up to three times and no longer. Hence the choice of numbers one, grinding number two, as a dilute / steeping count as three.
The medical profession does not deny that their methods create powerful toxins (called euphemistically, '' side effects ''; but it is 'reasonable' because they claim only in this form of 'effective' drugs '(yet they do not really cure) anything and the most popular practice recognizes that 90% of the drugs prescribed have no effect on the condition they prescribe for ..
Herbal medicines can also have side effects, but they can also cure conditions and specific diseases, but they cannot cure the whole person.
Only Homeopathy and Acupuncture, with competent administration and practice, can heal the whole person, quickly, completely and without harmful effects.
Medical medicine is not well defined. Here is one I found on the Internet.
A system in which medical doctors and other health care professionals (such as nurses, pharmacists, and therapists) treat symptoms and illnesses with medications, radiation, or surgery. Also called allopathic medicine, biomedicine, primary medicine, orthodox medicine, and Western medicine.
It is full of false comments. The preferred term is drug based medicine. Evidence-based medicine uses many methods besides drugs, radiation, and surgery. Brushing your teeth is based on evidence. A healthy diet is based on evidence. Exercise is based on evidence.
Allopathic is an insult used by homeopaths. This refers to the theory that "unlike such remedies." For example "hot" foods are used to treat chills. Evidence-based practices such as traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda are remarkable.
Western medicine is another term. The drug works, works equally well in all countries. Homeopathy for example is of European origin but is not included in this definition.
If we redefine the question as "What is the difference between evidence based on medicine and herbal medicine?" we see the source of confusion. There is ample evidence that herbal medicines may contain the drug. It is usually better to take the beneficial compound, clean it, and control the dose.
However there are many other ways to use herbal medicines. As I mentioned, TCM and Ayurveda suggest herbal medicines based on a superficial analysis of symptoms, as well as homeopathy - except that different herbal medicines will be used.
In the United States there is a long tradition of some medicinal plants that are good for certain things and that is what is commonly referred to as herbal medicine. It is not based on evidence, or homeopathy, or alleopathy, but rather tradition. Some of the herbs can be useful, some insignificant, some harmful, some useful and dangerous, and some are variable recommended for whatever.
Short version:
In the US, herbal medicine is a group of traditions about which herbs are useful for what. Herbal remedies can be beneficial, harmful, harmless, or any of the above depending on exactly what is in the herb.
Conventional medicine is better called drug based medicine. Evidence-based medicine recommends interventions of many types based on evidence. Herbal medicines may be based on evidence but it is better to use the purified and standardized form (such as a pill).
Conventional (FDA-approved) should be thoroughly evaluated to determine potential poisoning and safety margins developed to ensure that toxicities do not occur at use levels. They should also undergo blindness in clinical trials where doctors and patients both do not know whether drugs, placebos, or comparison drugs are being given, to prove that they are in fact medically effective. work. They are also required to have established manufacturing processes, identity and purity standards, and analysis of the potential for impurities to cause poisoning. In contrast, herbal "drugs" that are often sold under laws governing dietary supplements rather than pharmaceutical products, are not required to undergo these rigorous safety and fitness studies. effective and generally also not clear chemical identity standards. Thus, the actual effectiveness of herbal medicines is uncertain and delayed and the sporadic toxicities that can only be identified by carefully designed laboratory studies are unknown. After a lifelong career as a product safety expert, I published a book explaining why in fact conventional pharmacists are more selective than traditional medicines. It is titled "A Natural Mistake: Why natural, organic, and botanical products are not as safe as you think" and are available in paperback and electronic format lines
