Long ago I had a patient that didn't fill her herb prescription. I asked her why and she began to reply hesitantly. I stepped in and said, "I understand if you have concerns about products from China. Would you like to know more about why I trust my herbs?" She said, "Yes." After I had shared a few quick facts, she started asking questions.
