Phytotherapy

Meaning

Phytotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes plant-derived extracts or compounds, known as phytomedicines, to prevent, alleviate, or treat various health conditions, including those related to hormonal imbalances. This practice involves the systematic, evidence-based application of botanical agents that contain pharmacologically active substances capable of modulating endocrine pathways, such as phytoestrogens or adaptogens that influence the HPA axis. It is distinct from traditional herbalism by emphasizing scientific validation and standardized extracts.
