Before western and modern medicine, herbal medicine was used to cure almost every kind of sickness in a natural way. Herbal medicine enhances the biological natural healing ability of our body, so that the recovery process gets accelerated and the body is able to maintain an ideal internal environment that is crucial for such recovery. A lot of herbs work by stimulating various glands so that appropriate hormones are activated. These hormones carry the distress signal to the relevant parts of the physiology to either induce or inhibit certain biological processes in order for the healing process to take place, thus herbal medicine can cure almost any sickness, as it relies more on the patient’s body than the medicinal properties of the medicine. An example of this is when the body has a sudden serious acute attack on the body, such as a cold, herbs can give a stronger and don't require a lengthy treatment time. Modern drugs, however, are extracted from parts of plants and thus, it has more side effects when consumed.

Another example is white willow
