Prof. Dr. Gizella Petri: Phytotherapy in the Medicine
Phytomedicines exactly like other medicines, must stand up to the challenge of modern scientific evaluation. They need no special consideration when it comes to the planning and conduct of clinical trials intended to prove their safety and efficacy. The disintective feature of phytotherapy is its origin, namely, the many years of empiricial use of plant drugs. Experience gained during this period should be taken its account, along with clinical testing, in evaulating of phytomedicines.
