Botanical or herbal medicines are derived from plants. Nearly all of the pharmaceutical agents are a derivative of an isolated chemical constituent of a plant. This is the only way the drug can then be patented and synthesized. Historically, plants have been used in the whole form for thousands of years. When using the whole plant, often it not only the chemical constituent that creates the desired effect in the body but also other partnered constituents that protect the body from serious side effects.
