Question:
What kind of herbal medicines are approved by US.FDA?
Answers:
There is not herbal preparation recognized or accepted by the FDA. However, there are several studies going on with several herbs--like Ginkgo Biloba--that if accepted will be incorporated into the pharmaceutical industry for the creation of new drugs upon American territory. Once the pharmaceutical industry takes over any herb to extract one of its alkaloids for drug creation, it becomes patentized. But no herb can be patentized since it is of universal use.
When the Codex Alimentarus gets approved there will be a swift reorganization about the use of herbs and foods as never before. I hope US abides by its codes.
