At the end of last year there was a really big scare because every single
piece of herbal stuff would have had to be taken off the shelves. Legislation
demanded they'd be officially approved off. But since approval procedure was
so long and complicated and the time the industry got to do it was rather
short (I think something like a half year) not a single herbal product would
have been approved by the time the deadline was reached. I don't really know
what happened but herbals are still on the shelves so I guess they solved it
one way or the other.

It apears that the movement in favour of herbal remedies isn't as strong as
the medicine industry is. :o(
