Herbal medicine: Exploring its prevalence, culture
It’s estimated that approximately 20% of the US population regularly uses herbal medicine, and that percentage may be much higher among some ethnic and cultural groups. Meanwhile, understanding of such plant use is incomplete. A pilot study in this issue of WMJ explores herbal medicine use among a small Midwest Latino population, seeking to bring clarity to the issue and making a case for further research.
