The paths of herbalism and science-based medicine really began diverging in the sixteenth century, but in the early nineteenth century, scientists learned how to isolate chemicals from plants and modern medicine claimed superiority over herbal remedies.

Today, there is a herbal revival. Health conscious people are seeking alternatives to over-the-counter medicines. Herbal toothpastes and herbal beauty products line the shelves, while complimentary health shops and alternative health workers are flourishing.
