I thought EU was better. Seems like I read about studies from time to time, the most recent approval for a derivative of lavender for depression in Germany. Of course natural doesn't necessarily mean safer either. Recently I had a jerk of a T tell me he didn't want to talk about chamomile because there are no double blind studies. Hundreds if not thousands of years of documented (via aruyvedic medicine) and experiential evidence is apparently not enough. 5 years is plenty for brain altering drugs however. I was thrilled to tell him there are in fact double blind studies and they are summarized on national institute of health  . Of course it changed nothing. I'm just another noncompliant patient. That was our last meeting.

I have a 8 book herbary at home by a modern day herbalist. He experimented with lot of stuff himself and taught czechs how to use Aloe vera... he wrote in his book about how there was some "testing" done to proof Basil is evil and can kill you. They fed cows basil and basil only till they died.
Right now you can sell herbs here, but you cannot make any "unproven" claims. Yet, there is so much advertisemt for OTC painkillers on the TV, eventhough there's periodical reports about how people, especially women are getting addicted to them.
