Telemedicine has been defined as the use of telecommunications to provide medical information and services. It amy be simple as two doctors dicussing a case over the teephone, or s sophisticated as using satellite technology to brodcast a consultation between hospitals in two countries using videoconferencing equipment. The first is used dauly by most health professionals and the latter is used largely by medical centers. This is the science or art of recovering from plants which means taking certain plants and herbs to recover from a certain illness. This form of complementary medicine has been practiced through the centuries, and probably from several thousands of years ago. Depending on the plant and on the treatment, the whole plant or individual parts can be used in the remedy. Generally, practitioners of herbal medicine used seeds, fruit flowers, leaves, stems, and barks of plants and herbs in preparing remedies. The commonest form of remedy is the infusion, the fresh herb or plant boiled and the water strained and sipped like tea. The tincture (one part of the herb or plant mixed with five parts of alcohol) is also a common form of therapy.
