Why European Phytotherapy?

Quality control: Standardized extracts with verified active constituent levels
Clinical integration: Herbal medicine is prescribed by physicians with specific training
Safety focus: Extensive monitoring of drug interactions and adverse events
Strong evidence base: Many European herbs have more RCT evidence than commonly used supplements
