Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine uses medicinal plants —roots, leaves, flowers, and extracts— to treat physical, emotional, and metabolic conditions. This practice is part of functional and naturopathic medicine, and it adapts to each person's unique biological environment.  

In comprehensive medical care, it is used as a complement to conventional therapies for:

• Stimulate natural healing processes.  

• Reduce side effects from medications.  

• Strengthen the immune response.  

• Improve digestive, hepatic, or endocrine function.  

Yes. Many herbs have immunomodulatory properties, which means they help balance the immune response, either by stimulating it or regulating it according to the body's needs.  

Some herbs commonly used for immunological purposes include

• Astragalus (Astragalus membranous): strengthens immune resistance.  

• Echinacea: Supports the response to respiratory infections.  

• Reishi and other adaptogenic mushrooms: modulate inflammation and promote cellular vitality.  

These herbs can also contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases by reducing oxidative stress and supporting detoxification.  

The herbs used in clinical herbal medicine depend on the condition being treated, but the most common ones include

• Turmeric (Curcuma longa)—potent natural anti-inflammatory  

• Ginseng: promotes energy and physical endurance.  

• Ashwagandha: reduces cortisol and fatigue.  

• Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)—supports the liver and digestion  

• Valerian: useful in cases of insomnia and anxiety.  

• Nettle (Urtica dioica)—Strengthens the immune system and alleviates allergies.  

At Mitogenesis, these plants are carefully selected according to clinical criteria and integrated into individualized protocols.  

In most cases, yes. However, it is crucial to have professional supervision, as some herbs can interact with medications such as anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, or chemotherapy.  

Mitogenesis conducts a detailed medical evaluation before recommending any herbal formulation, ensuring that it is safe and effective alongside other medical treatments.

Yes. Clinical studies and traditional evidence support the use of medicinal plants to treat:

• Chronic fatigue  

• Persistent pain and inflammation  

• Digestive disorders  

• Hormonal imbalances

By acting on multiple systems of the body (immune, nervous, and endocrine), herbal remedies can naturally reduce chronic symptoms without serious adverse effects.  

At Mitogenesis, each patient is evaluated holistically to design a personalized plan. Factors such as the following are considered:

• Current health status  

• Chronic conditions  

• Current medications  

• Food intolerances  

• Emotional state  

Based on this information, personalized herbal formulations are created in capsules, tinctures, infusions, or tonics. The dosage is also adjusted according to the patient's response and therapeutic goals.

If you are looking for a natural, less invasive, and more personalized alternative, herbal medicine may be suitable for you. It is especially useful if you want

• Support your immune system.  

• Manage chronic conditions without pharmacological dependence.  

• Reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.

Our professionals at Mitogenesis can help you determine if this therapy is suitable according to your health profile.

Although medicinal plants are natural, they can pose risks if used without proper supervision. Some effects include:

• Drug interactions

• Overdose  

• Gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, diarrhea)  

That is why, at Mitogenesis, we only recommend formulas prescribed by trained professionals, with controlled quality products and clinical evidence.
