Phytotherapy
Phytotherapy is the science that studies the use of plants, roots, leaves, flowers, etc. with a therapeutic purpose to prevent, improve or cure any ailment.
The use of medicinal plants has decreased due to the advancement of medicine that has developed effective drugs for the treatment of the most serious pathologies. Although many of the active ingredients that are chemically synthesized today have a natural origin.
Science has always been aware of the potential of medicinal plants and, therefore, some pharmaceutical laboratories have products based on phytotherapy.

Bach flowers
It is a system of 38 flower essences discovered in 1930 by the British doctor Edward Bach, bacteriologist and pathologist, with the intention of developing a therapy capable of treating each individual as a complete being, and not just the disease they suffer from.
Bach knew that most human illnesses were a consequence of a negative mental state; then, each flower would be associated with one of the emotions they produce.
They help to obtain a positive emotional state that leads to the restoration of a healthy balance, and capable of catalyzing the individual's own resources to maintain that balance.
Each remedy has properties for different existing problems.
They are prescribed in one session every 20 days, which is the same time it takes to consume a dropper, and how the formula is adjusted is evaluated.
