A member asked:
Is botanicals a reputable cure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Reputable cure"?: The answer depends on what condition & botanical you're asking about. There are thousands of plants which have been used to make medicines, for many conditions. Even some drugs used in conventional medicine -- such as digitalis and Atropine -- had their origins in plant (botanical) medicine. Clinical research in botanical medicine is progressing, but has far to go. www.herbalgram.org for more.
