Some species of plants contain the base chemicals for many of the product on todays medicine shelves. An example is the presence of aspirin in the Willow tree. Before aspirin was synthesised artificially people used to chew on willow bark to remedy headaches. Many plants are crushed and the juices extracted through process such as centrifugation and filtration. The products can then be put into capsules and taken as medicine. Hope this helps
