Plant-based Treatments: Western Herbalism

What is Herbalism?
Herbalism is the medicinal use of plants, many of which have been used for hundreds or even thousands of years by many medicinal traditions. What we'll show you here are plants that have been studied and reported on in medical journals.

In healthy people, many of these plants can be used with few side effects. But when your kidneys don't work well and you take other drugs, keep in mind that "natural" doesn't always mean safe. Look at the uses—and the cautions—before you decide to use a plant medicine, and always tell your care team what you are taking.
