In this episode, we dive into the world of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), used by nearly 40% of adults in conjunction with or as a replacement for traditional medical therapies. This episode explores key herbal remedies, their potential uses, and risks. We’ll cover commonly used herbs like echinacea, ginkgo, and ginseng, and touch on essential regulatory acts like the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.
