Phytotherapy is the study of the use of extracts of natural origin as medicines or health-promoting agents.Phytotherapy medicines differ from plant-derived medicines in standard pharmacology.Where standard pharmacology isolates an active compound from a given plant, phytotherapy aims to preserve the complexity of substances from a given plant with relatively less processing.hytotherapy is distinct from homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine, and avoids mixing plant and synthetic bioactive substances.
