NATURE'S PHARMACY
Herbal remedies are filling more and more drugstore shelf space in the industrial world - not all of them scientifically tested - to combat anything from the common cold to cancer. Every day researchers discover healing properties of plants that "healers" in undeveloped countries have been administering for centuries. Finding exactly what chemical in a plant is the active ingredient is complicated. Slash and burn development threatens to make many of these potential lifesavers extinct. This issue will explore how science merges with herbalism to get the best medicines.
