The mission

There’s a well-known controversy surging from the opposition between modern and alternative medicine. Polarized views on the topic are the standard. We believe that a reconciliation between these two sources of health-related knowledge needs to take place. The truth is, modern medicine and alternative medicine are intrinsically correlated. There's a lot of science done with focus on herbs and other natural sources of active compounds used for medical purposes. We created the Herbal and Natural Medicine app and website to bring that scientific knowledge to you, structured by herbs and active compounds, and their proven in research effects on different diseases and conditions.

"The most common reasons for using traditional medicine are that it is more affordable, more closely corresponds to the patient’s ideology, allays concerns about the adverse effects of chemical (synthetic) medicines, satisfies a desire for more personalized health care, and allows greater public access to health information. The major use of herbal medicines is for health promotion and therapy for chronic, as opposed to life-threatening, conditions. However, usage of traditional remedies increases when conventional medicine is ineffective in the treatment of disease, such as in advanced cancer and in the face of new infectious diseases. Furthermore, traditional medicines are widely perceived as natural and safe, that is, not toxic. This is not necessarily true, especially when herbs are taken with prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or other herbs, as is very common" (Canter and Ernst 2004; Qato et al. 2008; Gonzalez-Stuart, and Rivera 2009; Cohen and Ernst 2010 - say Dr. Iris F. F. Benzie and Dr. Sissi Wachtel-Galor in their book Herbal Medicine: Biomolecular and Clinical Aspects Second Edition (source) funded by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and listed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI ) in the U.S., and we couldn’t agree more. Traditional medicine holds a treasure trove of knowledge which scientists are already exploring for the benefit of humanity and life on our planet. This exploration has its results and we are bringing them to you in a simple application.
