Update on Herbal medicines
Many herbal medicines have a long tradition of use in clinical practice
Within the EU, herbal medicines must be approved prior to marketing to ensure that they are of acceptable safety and quality
A national simplified “traditional-use registration” process for traditional herbal medicines has been introduced in EU member states
More than 160 harmonised “community” herbal monographs that contain clinical, safety, dosage and interaction data, have also been developed and are publicly available
