There is hardly a country in the world where the inhabitants of which do not use herbal products and herbal supplements with medical aim and in everyday life: Greeks and Europeans, people of Ancient Rome and Kyiv Rus, Indians and especially the inhabitants of China (that is why today we often identify many herbs as Chinese). Phytotherapy is the crucial constituent of folk medicine. It has a long history and broad experience. Hippocrates, whom we often call “the father of medicine”, used more than 200 herbs and other natural supplements for treating different diseases. Not only herbalists, but even ordinary people knew about the curative forces of many herbs and used them for keeping and restoring the normal body functions, for improving health to feel better and live longer.
No doubt, official medicine has reached great success in treating different diseases and rescuing many people’s lives from the claws of death. However, folk remedies, which effectiveness was proved in practice by using them for thousands of years, must not be dismissed out of hand. Furthermore, today official medicine tends toward employing traditional folk methods of treatment in many situations. 
Nowadays phytotherapy gains more and more popularity as it offers the chance of alternative treatment for those who are not satisfied with the effectiveness of modern synthetic medications or cannot use them for some reason (about 10% of patients are reported not to respond properly and adequately to the modern medications). Moreover, one of the most appealing qualities and advantages of phytotherapy and Chinese herbal products are the low risk of adverse reaction or side effects, especially in comparison to pharmaceutical drugs.
To find the possibility of using herbs and various natural supplements in the official medicine, multiple trials are carried out by the most advanced scientists. They work on discovering the source of herbs’ effectiveness, power over the human bodies and their active constituents. A human being is an essential part of nature. Nowadays many of us forget about it, trying to find the way out of some difficulty inventing something new, when, actually, nature has already got all the necessary material to provide our normal living, especially as it concerns our health.
