Common Knowledge:17.How can I tell if an herbal medicine is made from organically grown herbs?
If an herbal medicine is made from organically grown herbs, it is generally stated clearly on the label. If you are not sure, you can call the manufacturer. If you are concerned about environmental degradation from wild-harvesting herbs, you may want to make sure your supplement is cultivated instead of "wild-crafted" or "wild-harvested".
Few manufacturers take steps to ensure that wild-crafted herbs are not a detriment to the environment, so you may also call to learn what, if any, steps they may be taking to prevent or minimize harm to the environment.
In addition, a select group of manufacturers use herbs that are grown by or return benefits to the indigenous people from whom they were adapted.
