A GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL HERBAL MEDICINES
A sourcebook of accepted traditional uses of medicinal
plants within Europe - 2003 Edition
The European Directive on Traditional Herbal Medicinal
Products provides new opportunities for herbs to be restored
to their former role as popular medicines.
"Traditional use" is defined under the terms of the new Directive. It is taken to mean at least 30 years of use
anywhere in Europe, or 15 years in Europe if used for
at least 30 years elsewhere. It is assumed that the new
Directive will be formally enacted around 2009. The 30-year
and 15-year periods therefore will start at 1979 and 1994
respectively.

BRITISH HERBAL PHARMACOPOEIA 1996
Monographs of the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia 1996 (BHP)
provide quality standards for 169 herbal raw materials.
Those herbs official in the European Pharmacopoeia or
British Pharmacopoeia at the time of publication are covered
by abbreviated monographs in this volume. Subsequent work
by the European Pharmacopoeia Commission (Council of Europe)
has led to the introduction of many more herbal monographs
in the European Pharmacopoeia. Nevertheless, the BHP remains
a very useful aid to quality assurance, particularly for
herbs not featured in official pharmacopoeias.
