Medicinal Plants
People have known for thousands of years that some plants
could ease their health problems. Treating illnesses with plants is
called herbal medicine. Herbal medicine is still widely used today.
Some modern medicines also use plants, but the medicines are produced
by scientific methods. Aspirin was one of the first modern medicines,
and it is still a commonly used painkiller today. The painkilling chemical
in aspirin comes from willow trees. Penicillin, a medicine that kills
some disease organisms, comes from a mould, a type of fungus.
