Herbal medicines banned as EU directive comes into force

E-mail Print PDF

Patients have lost access to hundreds of herbal medicines today, after European regulations came into force.

Sales of all herbal remedies, except for a small number of popular products for 'mild' illness such as echinacea for colds and St John's Wort for depression have been banned.

Both herbal remedy practitioners and manufacturers fear they could be forced out of business as a result.

At least 50 herbs, including horny goat weed (so-called natural Viagra), hawthorn berry, used for angina pain, and wild yam will no longer be stocked in health food shops, says the British Herbal Medicine Association.

TVNL Comment: But it is the "terrorists" who want to take away our freedom! OK...then the law makers are the terrorists.
