Ethnopharmacology is a field of science that combines research on the pharmacology of an herbal with cultural information on how the herbal is used as a medicine by the indigenous native people. Ethnopharmacologists would first study the ethnic context of the flowers: how does the tribe select and process the flowers to prepare them into an ointment? This article investigates how well research articles published in two major journals of ethnopharmacology met the goal of integrating science and the cultural context of an herb. Six hundred and thirty-four articles from JEP and 279 articles from PB published in the time period from 1996-2000 were examined and classified.

Chinese herbs are prescribed to normalise imbalanced energy, or Qi (pronounced 'chee'), that runs through invisible meridians in the body. Whether or not the philosophy is believed, studies have shown Chinese herbal medicines to be successful in treating a range of disorders, particularly gynaecological and gastrointestinal disorders. The ancient Chinese proposed that every living thing is sustained by a balance of two opposing forces of energy, called Yin and Yang. The TCM philosophy proposes that everything including organs of the body - is composed of the five elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. segobrochure http://www.segoherbfarm.com/segobrochure.pdf Sego's Herb Farm is a family-owned, 55 acre, certified organic farm with 8 acres currently under combined goldenseal and North American ginseng production.

Feverfew, valerian and milk thistle plugs (2" to 3" in size) were hand planted in 5 single rows with 90 cm spaces between each plant.

Echinacea plants were obtained from Bioriginal in Saskatoon, while the feverfew, milk thistle and valerian was purchased from room to grow at Boissevain.

Herbs (non-woody flowering plants) such as St. John's Wort, Ephera, and Ginseng are said by many to be "natural" products that are safer than conventional prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals. However, the Food and Drug Administration does not classify herbal medicines as drugs but instead, as dietary supplements. Unlike conventional plant-derived drugs, there is no requirement that herbal medicines be tested for safety and effectiveness before they are sold. | |
