Don't be swayed by those who make great-sounding
claims for standardization. Although this may
sometimes be a desirable feature, Grandma and
thousands of Grandmas before her never said you
must have standardization to obtain and use
medicinal plants. Standardization of herbals is
not as relevant as it is for extremely potent
synthetic drugs. Those who argue strongly for
standardization are trying to corner the market.
Herbal medicine is a grass-roots domain, don't
allow it to be a pharmaceutical monopoly. Many
strong arguments can be made for not
standardizing. Nature has produced a pharmacy of
chemicals in each plant. Man has learned to use
the whole plant largely by experience in the
treatment of various conditions. To standardize
is to change this equation and nullify the
experience.
