Is there any advantage, from a chemist's or biochemist's view, to herbal medicine. I know that chemical medications are often simply extractions of the chemicals of a plant that can be used to address the symptoms of a specific range of illnesses. Is there any proven or theoretical biochemical benefit to using herbal medicine.
-I have a relative who practices herbal medicine, and I have looked for good scientifically based books that discuss the subject, without much success. Some of them do use the scientific method on a case by case study base, but I haven't found any that break down, at the chemical level, why the use of herbal medicine is beneficial as an alternative to modern, chemically based, medicines.-
