There is plenty
of information floating around these days regarding the safety
of herbs. It is extremely important to us that we know where
our herbs come from and how they are processed.
We use only herbs
and herbal formulas that are processed here in the U.S. or
have strict standards of maunfacturing. We require that our
herbal companies comply with the GMP standards for processing.
The GMP standards are international standards that are more
strict than some FDA standards with regard to the processing
of herbal formulas.
The safety of herbal
medicine, no matter where the herbs come from, involves two
crucial points. 1. The use of GMP standards and 2. the training
and certification of the practitioner prescribing the herbs.
These two points can determine whether or not you should feel
safe taking herbal medicine. |
