Herbalism (also herbal medicine) is the study of botany and use of plants intended for medicinal purposes.

Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today.

Modern medicine makes use of many plant-derived compounds as the basis for evidence-based pharmaceutical drugs.

Although phytotherapy may apply modern standards of effectiveness testing to herbs and medicines derived from natural sources, few high-quality clinical trials and standards for purity or dosage exist.

The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts.

Alternative medicine, fringe medicine, pseudomedicine or simply questionable medicine is the use and promotion of practices which are unproven, disproven, impossible to prove, or excessively harmful in relation to their effect — in the attempt to achieve the healing effects of medicine.

They differ from experimental medicine in that the latter employs responsible investigation, and accepts results that show it to be ineffective.

The scientific consensus is that alternative therapies either do not, or cannot, work.

In some cases laws of nature are violated by their basic claims; in some the treatment is so much worse that its use is unethical.

Alternative practices, products, and therapies range from only ineffective to having known harmful and toxic effects.

A cure is a substance or procedure that ends a medical condition, such as a medication, a surgical operation, a change in lifestyle or even a philosophical mindset that helps end a person's sufferings; or the state of being healed, or cured.

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris when considered a subspecies of the gray wolf or Canis familiaris when considered a distinct species) is a member of the genus Canis (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.

The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.

The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.

Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe.

"Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general.

The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science.

Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.
