Author: Hazel B. Matthews
Date Published: 1999


This research paper documents the use of medicinal herbs in the United States. Medicinal herbs have played a major role in the development of mordern medicine and continue to be widely used in their original form.

This paper discusses these concerns and makes recommendations for additional research and education.
