New EU regulations on herbal medicines come into force

Good news!

New European Union rules come into force...banning hundreds of traditional herbal remedies.

The EU law aims to protect consumers from possible damaging side-effects of over-the-counter herbal medicines.

For the first time, new regulations will allow only long-established and quality-controlled medicines to be sold.

It's about time there was quality-control on this stuff.

But both herbal remedy practitioners and manufacturers fear they could be forced out of business.

Even better.

If you cannot live in a world of quality-control, you are not of adequate quality to remain in business.
