Interesting clinical trial results published on medicinal herbs in the past 18 months will be reviewed. This will include of course what has come out on the efficacy of herbs for treating CoVid-19, as well as other common (and a few uncommon) conditions. Additionally, ongoing and worsening threats to various medicinal species due to the global climate emergency and economic/political conditions around the world will be highlighted (such as the severe threat to Boswellia spp.), and native western American alternatives to these herbs discussed. Expand your material medica and get in touch with your local roots, literally!
