Before pharmaceuticals were invented, tribes all across the world relied on botanical medicine and it is again seeing a resurgence in popularity and use. For many people it more closely corresponds to their ideologies, including concerns around the side effects of synthetic medicine. Botanical medicine shows to be most effective in preventative medicine as well as for chronic conditions and more affordable in the long run.
Pharmaceuticals mainly involve one chemically-made synthetic compound; however, in a plant there are numerous compounds that all act in synergy to help an individual heal. In some instances a component of a plant has being isolated; however, it is still best to take the isolated component with the entire plant to increase its efficacy.
The administration of herbal medicine is either taken as a food or via infusions (often used with leaves), decoctions (often used for roots), and tinctures (used for all plant parts). Based on the constituents you want to extract the corresponding method is chosen.

Using plants is merely facilitating a biochemical conversation which is far beyond our comprehension and our understanding.
