Herbal Medicines
To treat diseases with the help of medicinal plants is one of the oldest methods we have. Almost all cultures at all times have used plants for healing purposes. This knowledge about the healing power of plants is used and developed by many pharmaceutical companies today. Tradition and research are two pillars of modern pharmaceutical production. Today, the same high demands are placed on phytopharmaceuticals as on chemically produced drugs. As far as quality, efficacy and safety are concerned, they must comply with the same legal requirements. Thus, today we have an abundance of herbal medicines at our disposal which are supposed to help alleviate or cure complaints or strengthen the body. The possibilities in the application of phytopharmaceuticals are very large. Each plant has its individual healing power and can be used in combination with other plants. Phytotherapy is characterized by high tolerance and few side effects.
Medicinal plant of the year 2021
The medicinal plant of the year has been chosen annually since 1999 by the interdisciplinary study group ‘’Development history of medicinal plant science” at the institute for the “History of medicine” at the university of Würzburg.
This year the real myrrh (Commiphora molmol) was chosen as the medicinal plant of 2021.
And for good reason! Because myrrh has had a proud track record as a medicinal plant for thousands of years already. In ancient times it was mainly used for the treatment of wounds. Today, myrrh preparations are mainly used for localized treatment in the mouth and throat.
The essential tinctures help against inflammation and have an astringent and antimicrobial effect. Anthroposophically, myrrh is also used internally for mild inflammation of the intestinal mucosa.
Myrrh is the dried gum resin from the bark of the myrrh tree. Many people are already familiar with the aromatic smell of myrrh around Christmas time. After all, myrrh was one of the gifts presented by the biblical three wise men. Since ancient times myrrh has already been considered as a valuable and prized product.
