Throughout
the ages people have turned for healing to herbal medicine, the sixth field
of alternative medicine. All cultures have folk medicine traditions that
include the use of plants and plant products. Many licensed drugs used
today originated in the herbal traditions of various cultures, such as
the medication commonly used for heart failure, digitalis, which is derived
from foxglove. In the United States, herbal products may be marketed only
as food supplements. Since they are not regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), there is no guarantee of their purity or safety.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4 billion people, or
80 percent of the world's population, use herbal medicine for some aspect
of primary health care.
