摘要

North America is a major consumer and producer of medicinal plants offered in211u001emyriad over-the-counter (OTC) herbal preparations. At least 175 native North 211u001eAmerican plants are offered on the non-prescription medicinal market in the 211u001eUnited States; more than 140 medicinal herbs native to North America have been 211u001edocumented in herbal products and phytomedicines in foreign countries. The market 211u001efor medicinal herbs in the United States is worth US$600 million and is growing 211u001eat an annualized rate of more than 100 percent. The popularity of herbs and 211u001eherbal products can be partially attributed to growing global appreciation for 211u001eand adoption of naturopathic medicine, which is often perceived and publicized as 211u001ea less-expensive and less-invasive form of treatment than modern medicine. 211u001eFavorable public opinion of herbs combined with effective marketing of herbal 211u001epreparations by industry has resulted in explosive consumption of medicinal 211u001eplants. While commercially important and therapeutically promising, the 211u001eutilization of medicinal plants raises valid questions about the environmental 211u001eimplications of this practice on wild populations, species and the ecosystems 211u001efrom which they are sourced.
