Phytotherapy means: 'Heal with Plants'. Phytotherapy is a natural medicine. In phytotherapy, where herbs are used as medicines, it is customary to describe the plant in its medicinal activity and to apply it on the basis of the analyzed ingredients.

This approach focuses mainly on the material components of the plant, using the herb as a whole. This is in contrast to regular medicine, where the main ingredient is isolated from the whole of the herb and processed into a medicine. However, an important part of the effect is lost and the operation is reduced to one influence on a single material level. Although herbal medicine focuses on specific complaints, it is still assumed that herbs affect the animal as a whole, both on a material, physical level, and on a psychological, energetic level.
