Oxford Herbal Paper No. 1: The Power of Herbs and Natural Healing
How plants support the body’s natural intelligence
This paper explores the relationship between plants and human physiology and explains why herbal medicine often works by supporting the body’s own processes of regulation and repair. Rather than forcing change, herbs often act as subtle signals that help restore balance within the body’s internal systems. It offers a thoughtful introduction to how herbal medicine works with the body rather than against it.
