Herbal Remedies
The herbal and pharmaceutical industries in the United States share a common heritage. Most pharmaceutical manufacturers of today were originally herbal extract producers. Many modern herbal manufacturers are becoming pharmaceutical manufacturers. Traditional herbal medicine in the United States has not been lost, but has been transformed into many of our modern pharmaceuticals. Fragments of traditional European/ American herbalism have not been incorporated into pharmaceutical products because of a variety of issues often centering upon the complexity of the pharmacological actions of the plants involved. This episode discusses some of the more commonly used herbal products in the United States.
