herbal ethics

Herbal ethics refers to the responsible and respectful use of medicinal plants, emphasizing sustainable harvesting, conservation, and respect for traditional knowledge. It involves ensuring that herbs are obtained legally, without causing harm to ecosystems or local communities, and acknowledging cultural practices. Ethical herbalism also means providing accurate information about herbal products, avoiding overharvesting that could threaten plant populations, and sharing benefits fairly with source communities. Overall, it promotes a balanced approach that respects nature, tradition, and safety for users and the environment.
