Who is using botanical medicines?
You are not alone in your interests in botanical medicines. In the U.S., botanical medicines are one of the most popular and rapidly growing of all complementary therapies. In 2001, the global retail sale of botanical dietary supplements amounted to more than $18 billion, according to Nutrition Business Journal (Morris, 2003). With this buying power, the more the American public knows about botanicals, the more it can influence good government regulations and reward manufacturers who produce quality products.
