Future of Herbal Therapy

past.
Many countries around the globe use natural medicine to meet their primary health
care needs. In developed countries the demand has steadily increased forcing positive
changes that show the future of natural medicine is on the verge of becoming main
stream and will one day be used in collaboration with conventional medicine.
The demand for natural medicine has fueled increased research and education.
Institutes of higher learning for the field are turning out graduates at record pace and
the word on the street is there is high demand for them. So high in fact that
conventional medical schools are offering courses and continuing education in natural
medicine.

the population in the United States was currently using some
form of natural medicine. With such a large number of its
citizens using alternatives to mainstream medical care, the
government has begun to take notice, develop policies,
regulations and fund research.
