Closed Stop implementation of European Directive on Herbal Medicines

Closed on

The Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD) by the European Union entered into force on 30 April 2011. This Directive effectively bans perfectly safe herbal medicines taking away the public’s freedom to choose the treatment they want. The Government should announce that it will not implement this needless European Directive and restore our freedom and our right to make our own choices for healthcare.
