Phytotherapy has its scientific roots in pharmacognosy.

Pharmacognosy is the branch of pharmacology that turns the traditional and ancestral use of medicinal plants into science:

Studies the origin of the plant extract, properly identifying the specie of the plant and determining the optimal conditions for its cultivation.
Sets up how to collect, dry and preserve the raw plant materials, how to evaluate their quality and how to manufacture plant extracts.
Establishes standards and protocols for the quality control of plant extracts.
Isolates and characterizes the active principles. Studies their mechanism of action.
Establishes the safety and efficacy of plant extracts.

We at PlusVet Animal health select our plant-derived raw materials that following the scientific principles of pharmacognosy.

Moreover, we integrate some of the principles of functional medicine, such as:

It is necessary to understand the underlying causes of a sign: chronic inflammation, metabolic or digestive imbalances, accumulation of toxins or oxidative stress, among others.
It is necessary to reinforce the natural mechanisms of self-regulation of the body.
Often the problem has a multifactorial cause so the solution must be complex (may need more than one active ingredient that work through different mechanisms of action)
Customized solutions are often necessary, so our technical department offers the possibility of customizing certain products to adapt them to the problems of our clients.
