ABSTRACT
Interest in alternatives to modern medicine has never been higher than it is now, and a large part of that interest revolves around the use of medicinal plants. One can purchase a wide variety of herbal products at virtually any drugstore or all-purpose retailer. Television and magazine ads proclaim the virtues of garlic, ginkgo, and ginseng. You probably know people who regularly use herbal supplements, and you may have used them yourself.
