Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
Phytotherapy is medicine based on the use of plants or plant extracts and their natural properties. Phytotherapy uses products exclusively of plant origin obtained by extraction, generally diluted in alcohol or another solvent. In herbal medicine, the products may be available in different forms:
- In the form of whole or divided plants ;
- In many galenic forms (syrup, drops, tablets, capsules, sachets, ampoules...)
Most herbal products are marketed as food supplements or medicines. Thus, this study focuses on medicinal plants, on which the entire sector is based, as well as the various formats of phytotherapy products (mainly food supplements). Essential oils (aromatherapy) are excluded from this study, for which a dedicated study is available in our catalogue.
Herbal medicine has several major advantages: it is probably less toxic than drugs, and it has been proven that treatments with plants present less than 1% of the reports of adverse reactions observed in 2015, all types of treatments combined.
In a global context of return to naturalness, well-being, organic and healthier practices, phytotherapy is experiencing a certain craze.
