Most people do not realize that plant-based medicine was historically a central part of medical care
🌱
In the early 1900s the Flexner Report transformed how physicians were trained standardizing scientific rigor
but also accelerating a shift toward pharmaceutical-driven models
At the same time synthetic drug manufacturing — including compounds derived from petroleum chemistry — became scalable and highly profitable
💰
Many traditional botanical therapies were removed from formal training programs
😭
Fast forward to today
Even therapies considered “bioidentical” or more physiologic — like transdermal estrogen — are often delivered through synthetic patch systems that use petroleum-derived polymers or adhesives
😮
Now we are witnessing a re-awakening
toward root-cause medicine, metabolic health, hormone optimization and evidence-informed botanical support
