The therapeutic use of plants has a long history. Medicinal plants played a role in virtually all ancient civilizations, including in China, India, Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. Herbal medicine practiced today draws on these and other traditions as well as modern approaches informed by scientific study. From a holistic perspective, the therapeutic use of plants offers a potent way to leverage our integration and interdependence with the natural world for the purposes of maintaining health and well-being. Therapeutic uses of plants for psychological and emotional health have proven to be especially effective for how they can work on subconscious and unconscious levels of energy, facilitating deeper connections with ourselves to inspire positive change.
