Herbal medicine is also called botanical medicine or. It is the use of seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark or flowers of a plant for medicinal purposes. Herbal medicine has a long tradition of use outside of conventional medicine. It is becoming more and more common as improvements in analysis and quality control as well as advances in clinical research show the value of herbal medicine in the treatment and prevention of disease. The plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. Ayurveda is a medical system mainly in India which has been known for almost 5000 years. It includes dietary and herbal remedies, while focusing on the body, mind and spirit in the prevention and treatment of disease. Ancient writings on the Chinese and Egyptian papyri describe medicinal uses of plants as early as 3000 BC. Indigenous cultures (such as Africa and Native Americans) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems in which herbal therapies were used. A herb is a plant or part of a plant used for its scent, flavor or therapeutic properties. Medicinal plants are a type of food supplement. They are sold in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts and fresh or dried plants. People use herbal medicines to try to maintain or improve their health. Many people believe that products labeled "natural" are always safe and good for them. This is not necessarily true. Herbal medicines do not have to undergo the tests that medicines do. Certain herbs, such as comfrey and ephedra, can cause serious damage. Some herbs can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medications. The review articles are a summary of the current state of knowledge on a particular research subject. They analyze or discuss research previously published by scientists and academics rather than reporting new research results. The journal article is in the form of systematic reviews and literature reviews and constitutes a form of secondary literature. Systematic reviews determine an objective list of criteria and find all previously published original research articles that meet the criteria. They then compare the results presented in these articles. Literature reviews, on the other hand, provide a summary of what the authors believe to be the best and most relevant previous publications. The concept of "review article" is distinct from the concept of peer-reviewed literature. An exam may be peer reviewed, and an exam may not be peer reviewed.
