Fwd: Herbs in Italy

[Guest guest]

Hi, its interesting to me how much this relates to a recent topic. Our

minor philosophical differences mean nothing, and really unite us as

allies among a big world of resistance, and draws lines globally, in

the face of this real attack.

If anything, I think the situation is getting worse as a

new European

 

law has been introduced that reclassified herbs as medicinal and

 

therefore seriously restricting their use. Some countries are exempt,

 

but central European countries like Italy, France and Spain will see a

 

loss of herbal medicine.

 

 

 

For more information on the use of herbal medicine in Europe, you can

 

read these 2 articles:
