Why modern phytotherapy is more than just a promising alternative
Many renowned doctors and experts, as well as patients, already rely on herbal medicines. Today, modern phytotherapy is mainly used in the treatment of chronic diseases, in accompanying pain and cancer therapy and in cancer prevention. More and more doctors and therapists are recognizing modern phytotherapy as a gentle path to health.
What is behind modern phytotherapy?
Modern phytotherapy is considered by experts to be one of the gentlest measures to strengthen or restore health in certain areas, but also to prevent possible health challenges. Phytopreparations differ fundamentally from conventional herbal remedies. This is partly because their composition and impact on health are strictly controlled.
Phytotherapy has its origins in "herbal medicine". This oldest form of accompanying medicine is found in almost all cultures. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Indian Ayurveda and Japanese health teachings, for example, have been using the power of plants and their active ingredients to treat health challenges for thousands of years. This knowledge spread to Europe in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The basis of modern phytotherapy is the combination of scientific processing and ancient knowledge. This knowledge includes the modes of action of parts of pharmacology, pharmaceutics and toxicology.The French doctor Henri Leclerc (1870 - 1955) coined the term phytotherapy. He introduced "herbal medicine", which had been practiced until then, into medical science. Since then, it has been possible to isolate the substances contained in medicinal plants in their purest form.
Modern phytotherapy
Modern phytotherapy is not an alternative medicine, but should be seen as part of recognized conventional medicine. It is the science of treating and preventing symptoms and illnesses with plants, their extracts and natural products. These herbal medicines are known as phytopharmaceuticals and have a special status under pharmaceutical law. Rational phytopharmaceuticals differ significantly from traditional phytopreparations. This is because rational phytopharmaceuticals contain strictly defined quantities of ingredients. Constant, consistent quality and its monitoring play a major role in this.
Why is phytotherapy becoming increasingly important?
There are around 70,000 known plant species that are used as medicines worldwide. Seeds, bark, roots, flowers, fruits and stems are used in a wide variety of forms. Alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, essential oils, mucilage and much more can be produced from it. Scientific studies have shown that the active ingredients of the plant as a whole are often more effective than pharmacologically and chemically isolated pure substances or chemically synthesized medicines. In addition to vitamins and minerals, these plants contain many secondary plant substances that can have an antioxidant effect. This means that they support the fight against free radicals that cause oxidative stress. This oxidative stress can promote cell ageing and is suspected of being involved in the development of cancer. The supportive measures of phytotherapy can not only alleviate complaints and symptoms of illnesses, but also actively prevent them in certain areas.
What should you look out for in phytopreparations?
Even though many experts believe that herbal medicines are the gentle way to better health, side effects can occur from time to time. For example, certain phytopharmaceuticals may cause allergic reactions or interact with other medications. If they are used under the wrong conditions or without an exact dosage, they may even have a toxic or organ-damaging effect. Herbal medicines also have package inserts that must be read carefully and followed. Special care should be taken with phytotherapy, especially for pregnant women, babies, small children and allergy sufferers. If nausea, vomiting or similar symptoms occur, the phytomedication must be discontinued immediately. Herbal medicines should therefore not be bought indiscriminately, for example in supermarkets, drugstores or elsewhere, but only from experts. This means that you should always seek medical advice from your doctor! (Link to the consultation mediation) When choosing your preparations, make sure that they are of a strictly tested quality that guarantees you consistent and high-quality ingredients! Rational phytopharmaceuticals are also confirmed by pharmacological and clinical studies.
What are the benefits of using phytotherapy?
Even if side effects could occur in modern phytotherapy, these are not as relevant and severe overall as with high-dose synthetic chemical medicines.
- Symptoms, symptoms and medical challenges can be alleviated or even significantly reduced with plant-based active ingredients.
- Many people tolerate phytopharmaceuticals better than conventional medicines.
- The benefits for patients are often much greater than the risk of undesirable side effects. Phytotherapeutics are therefore often used today as an adjunct in cancer therapy.
- Phytotherapeutics are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of chronic diseases, as support during the menopause in women, but also for the prevention and prevention of certain types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
- There are numerous studies that confirm the positive influence that high-quality preparations made from plant substances can have on holistic health. In addition, the targeted use of phytotherapy can also lead to a reduction in medication. In addition, phytotherapeutics are often cheaper than preparations with synthetic active ingredients.
Why is phytotherapy becoming increasingly popular with doctors, therapists and patients?
Phytotherapy can therefore do much more than the knowledge of plants that has been used for decades. This is why modern phytotherapy has increasingly come to the forefront of medical interest in recent years. When using phytotherapeutic measures, you should always be prepared for a treatment duration that is relevant in terms of time. This is because many of the phytotherapeutic medicines support the body's self-healing powers. These are activated via a wide variety of mechanisms and can therefore have a long-term and lasting positive influence on a person's holistic health.
A major advantage of modern phytotherapy is its wide range of applications. This is because with the help of the active power of plants, all four treatment success pillars, such as
1.) the direct killing of cancer cells
2.) the inhibition of inflammation
3.) the antioxidation
4.) the restoration of the immune system

You know how medpro works
“Since meeting Prof. Ben Pfeifer in 2013 and the resulting recommendation to start using medpro and Aeskulap products, my hopeless situation due to metastatic prostate cancer has been stable. Thanks to the immune-boosting products, I feel like a healthy man again. At medpro you also feel that you are in very good hands as a valued customer.”
Mart van Buuren
I have been living with my cancer for thirteen years now. Sure, it goes up and down from time to time, but on the whole, to be honest, it wasn’t the worst time of my life. Fortunately, I got to know Prof. Ben Pfeifer and some medpro preparations very early on in my illness, which I still integrate into my everyday life today. The combination of various conventional medical therapies in conjunction with special phytopreparations is still proving successful today. I am currently undergoing PSMA therapy, which, with the support of a herbal treatment protocol, is working again and has resulted in a significant reduction in PSA levels.”
Alexander Braun
For many years I have been using Prof. Ben Pfeifer’s therapy protocol for patients with prostate cancer and patients with breast cancer. When I had the patient’s tumor marker checked in the blood for the first time about ten years ago after a month of therapy with the medpro remedies, I was really amazed at how quickly the high-dose phytotherapy protocol worked. It’s just a shame that health insurance companies usually don’t reimburse anything, even though the good results are crystal clear.”
Dr. med. Saskia von Sanden
We have been relying on medpro for over 20 years to produce suitable herbal food supplements for our patients. We are given access to the certificates of analysis for the raw materials used, learn the results of the company’s own and independent quality control for the individual preparations and have established a reliably good success rate when using the products.”
Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Ben Pfeifer
medpro products have been a central component of our complementary oncology treatment for years. We regularly recommend them to our patients. In particular, the scientific background of the preparations encourages us to use them in this highly sensitive area of tumor therapy. This is not about wellness, but about well-founded evidence regarding the effectiveness of dietary supplements. And that is what our patients expect from our therapy. Our successes prove us right.”
Dr. med. Matthias Kraft
“I have been a prostate cancer patient of Prof. Ben Pfeifer for almost 12 years. Part of the therapy is a dietary protocol and two special food supplements (Prostasol & Indol-3-Carbinol) from medpro, which have kept me healthy and alive to this day.
ProstaSol & Indole-3-Carbinol are not the only supplements I take in the protocol I follow, but they are definitely important components of the comprehensive integrative treatment I receive. I am very grateful for the availability of these natural products because they work reliably without me having to tolerate the side effects associated with synthesized drugs that most prostate cancer patients have to take!”
Tom Barretto
“In my naturopathic practice, I attach great importance to the natural healing of the body. That’s why the healing power of plants is an indispensable part of the care I give my patients with various pathologies. I was particularly impressed by Prof. Pfeifer’s proven and holistic treatment concept and the products from medpro with their excellent composition and effect. I like to use them not only for prophylaxis, but also for the treatment of various diseases, especially those with an oncological background. Many of my patients are amazed that they do not experience any side effects and begin to trust in their natural, inner healing power. I no longer want to do without the support of my therapies with medpro products and I am grateful that medpro exists!”

Phytotherapy or herbal medicine has its origins in naturopathy. As the oldest therapeutic method in medicine, it offers the possibility of alleviating, curing and preventing illnesses with the help of medicinal plants. Several parts of the plant are used in phytotherapy, such as the root, stem, seed, bark, buds, wood or leaf. There are more than 70,000 plant species worldwide that are used in medicine as medicinal plants.
Since phytotherapeutic treatment offers completely new possibilities for the treatment of serious illnesses, more and more attention is being paid to herbal medicine. In the 20th century, the physician Dr. Rudolf Fritz Weiss founded the first chair for phytotherapy in Germany, thus creating a scientific context and greater recognition on the part of conventional medicine. People want phytotherapy to provide "gentle" medical care that is as free of side effects as possible.
Important to know:
Herbal medicines and herbal food supplements should also be taken according to the package leaflet and recommended dosage and discontinued if side effects occur. In this case, a visit to the doctor is recommended
