Phytotherapy

Honey and medicinal plants in phytotherapy

When I think of health, I first think of a healthy liver. Honey and selected herbs always help here. Sikavica, fenugreek and turmeric are the beginning when I suggest therapy. Strengthening the liver and restoring hepatocytes are the beginning of treating many diseases and conditions. Detoxification mechanisms of selected medicinal herbs and honey are recommended for all those who put their hope in preventive medicine/phytomedicine. Prevention is an extremely important but often neglected aspect of health.
