Editorial Reviews

Herbal remedies are the world's oldest and most widely used method of treating illness, with 80% of the world's population relying on them. Yet as interest blossoms, a debate about the safety and effectiveness of herbal medicine also grows. In Prescribed by Nature, several Alabama herbalists describe their experience with medicinal plant use and voice their opinions in the debate over regulation.
