Medicinal plants, also called medicinal herbs, have been discovered and used in traditional medicine practices since prehistoric times. Plants synthesise hundreds of chemical compounds for functions including defence against insects, fungi, diseases, and herbivorous mammals. Numerous phytochemicals with potential or established biological activity have been identified.

The earliest historical records of herbs are found from the Sumerian civilisation, where hundreds of medicinal plants including opium are listed on clay tablets. The Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt, c. 1550 BC, describes over 850 plant medicines. The Greek physician Dioscorides, who worked in the Roman army, documented over 1000 recipes for medicines using over 600 medicinal plants in De materia medica, c. 60 AD; this formed the basis of pharmacopoeias for some 1500 years. Drug research makes use of ethnobotany to search for pharmacologically active substances in nature, and has in this way discovered hundreds of useful compounds. These include the common drugs aspirin, digoxin, quinine, and opium. The compounds found in plants are of many kinds, but most are in four major biochemical classes: alkaloids, glycosides, polyphenols, and terpenes.

Medicinal plants are useful to keep on hand to treat common ailments. You can reach for certain medical plants to relieve headaches, tummy trouble and even irritation from bug bites. Plants can be consumed in teas, used as garnish, applied topically as essential oil or consumed as a pill.

Heilpflanzen, auch Heilkräuter genannt, wurden seit prähistorischen Zeiten entdeckt und in der traditionellen Medizin eingesetzt. Pflanzen synthetisieren Hunderte chemischer Verbindungen für Funktionen wie die Abwehr von Insekten, Pilzen, Krankheiten und pflanzenfressenden Säugetieren. Zahlreiche sekundäre Pflanzenstoffe mit potenzieller oder nachgewiesener biologischer Aktivität wurden identifiziert.

Die frühesten historischen Aufzeichnungen über Kräuter stammen aus der sumerischen Zivilisation, in der Hunderte von Heilpflanzen einschließlich Opium auf Tontafeln aufgeführt sind. Der Ebers Papyrus aus dem alten Ägypten, c. 1550 v. Chr. Beschreibt über 850 pflanzliche Arzneimittel. Der griechische Arzt Dioscorides, der in der römischen Armee arbeitete, dokumentierte über 1000 Rezepte für Arzneimittel mit über 600 Heilpflanzen in De materia medica, c. 60 n. Chr.; Dies bildete etwa 1500 Jahre lang die Grundlage für Arzneibücher. Die Arzneimittelforschung nutzt die Ethnobotanik zur Suche nach pharmakologisch aktiven Substanzen in der Natur und hat auf diese Weise Hunderte nützlicher Verbindungen entdeckt. Dazu gehören die gängigen Medikamente Aspirin, Digoxin, Chinin und Opium. Es gibt viele Arten von Verbindungen in Pflanzen, aber die meisten gehören zu vier biochemischen Hauptklassen: Alkaloide, Glykoside, Polyphenole und Terpene.

Heilpflanzen sind nützlich, um häufig auftretende Krankheiten zur Hand zu haben. Sie können nach bestimmten medizinischen Pflanzen greifen, um Kopfschmerzen, Bauchschmerzen und sogar Reizungen durch Insektenstiche zu lindern. Pflanzen können in Tees verzehrt, als Beilage verwendet, topisch als ätherisches Öl angewendet oder als Pille verzehrt werden.
