Phytotherapy comes from two Greek words: phyto (plant) and therapia (therapy), referring to the treatment of diseases with medicinal plants. Currently, herbal medicine or products based on medicinal plants are best employed for preventive purposes, and also for the treatment of the more frequent mild-to-moderate conditions that may affect us, thus contributing to a better quality of life.
Homeopathy comes from two Greek words: homeo (similarity) and phatia (ailment), it is a therapeutic method based on detailed clinical observation of the patient’s symptoms and on the principle of similarity – “like is cured by like” – as an alternative cure to conventional medicine.
