European herbalism

European herbalism is a traditional practice that uses plants and their extracts to promote health and treat ailments. Rooted in centuries of knowledge from cultures across the continent, it emphasizes using natural remedies, such as herbs, roots, and flowers, often prepared as teas, tinctures, or oils. Practitioners consider the healing properties of plants based on their chemical compounds and historical uses. While not a replacement for modern medicine, herbalism often complements conventional treatments, focusing on holistic well-being, prevention, and the balance between mind and body. It remains a respected aspect of European natural health traditions.
