Therefore, 10 different people with depression, for example, would each receive a different mixture (typically made up of six to 10 different herbs).

There are a number of other therapies that use plants as remedies. Apart from Western herbal medicine, you may also have heard of:

Aromatherapy
Homeopathy
Ayurvedic medicine, which treats the mind and body together with herbal medicines, yoga, massage, diet and meditation
