Phytomedicine: healing through plants

If you are looking for therapies that have an integral and holistic view of the human being, you should know phytomedicine. It is an alternative that serves the body, mind and emotions together when it comes to healing.

"Phytomedicine is a practice that brings together the ancestral knowledge of phytotherapy, the uses of medicinal plants, and the scientific knowledge that justify those uses”, Explains Florencia Fasanella, an integrative pharmacist specializing in medicinal plants.

“The conventional health system treats us as if we were just a physical body, I think the problem lies there. If I feel fear and anger, even if I am prescribed a medication to calm heartburn, heartburn will return. If, on the other hand, I contact the fear or anger that I feel in order to heal, the acidity begins to go away without the need to take a medication, ”he says.

Emotions and thoughts generate impacts on the physical body. Therefore, in the search for healing through phytomedicine, it is necessary to recognize the whole being as a unit, understand that health is much more than the fact that nothing hurts and look at the symptoms as teachers that provide the possibility of going inside and healing the soul.

“Our beliefs generate thoughts, thoughts stimulate certain emotions that, when we do not express or deny them, pass to the physical body. Medicinal plants not only work on the physical body, but also on emotions and thoughts, that is why they are so complete, because they help us to work deeply on the imbalance we experience”, Explains Fasanella.
