Last time this came up it was the a misunderstanding, because the EU doesn't allow claims about what a herbal preparation can do without all the official testing. Unless there is something new, they can still be sold, just no medical claims!

Hi
I saw a clip on the tv and they said that they had to go through tests to prove safe etc but many items may not be put through the tests due to costs.

I agree that it is silly for each and every manufacturer to have to test each and every product. Surely the herbalists can work together on testing 'single ingredient' products? If they did that it would be only the combinations that caused problems? Not sure how they can stop people using herbs that are also used for food (peppermint, sage......) which means the number removed from use is not going to be THAT great.
What about books (or TV programs) telling people how to grow/find the plants and make their own?????
