Plant medicine has been practiced by native tribes for centuries; ancient Egyptians were amongst for the first to record their use of plants in medicinal practices and the Ebers Papyrus of ancient Egypt records many uses of plant medicine. Other ancient civilizations, such as the Chinese and Indians, still practice ancient plant medicine today in the form of Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine.

Ancient use of plant medicine has progressed to evolve into many different plant disciplines; today, in addition to the traditional plant medicine of the ancient world, 'new' practices of naturopathy, homeopathy, aromatherapy and modern herbal medicine have developed with the help of modern day science. There is often confusion between the differences between these various practices of plant medicine.
