Plants have been used as medicines throughout history. Medicinal plants are plants which may have medicinal properties. Medical plants are very useful in healing various diseases and the advantage of these medicinal plants is being 100% natural. Medicinal plants are widely and successfully used on every continent. In Asia, the practice of herbal medicine is extremely well established and documented. As a result, most of the medicinal plants that have international recognition come from this region, particularly from China and India. In Europe and North America, the use of herbal medicine is increasing fast, especially for correcting imbalances caused by modern diets and lifestyles. Many people now take medicinal plant products on a daily basis, to maintain good health as much as to treat illness. In Africa, attitudes towards traditional, herbal medicines vary strongly.
