What exactly is herbalism and how does it differ from using essential oils or taking supplements?

Herbalism is a traditional healing practice that uses whole plants or plant parts (like leaves, roots, flowers, and berries) in various preparations to support wellness. Unlike isolated supplements that contain extracted compounds, herbalism typically works with plants in their complete form, honoring the synergistic effects of their many constituents. While essential oils are concentrated plant extracts used aromatically or topically, herbalism encompasses a broader range of applications including teas, tinctures, syrups, infused honeys, and food-based remedies.
