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.
