[Armbrecht] challenges ideas of what medicine can be, and how business practices can corrupt, and expand, our notions of plant-based healing.”ー＜em＞The Boston Globe＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"So deeply honest, sincere, heartful, questioning, and brilliant. . . .

Yet most consumers know very little about where those herbs come from and how they are processed into the many products that fill store shelves. In ＜em＞The Business of Botanicals＜/em＞, author Ann Armbrecht follows their journey from seed to shelf, revealing the inner workings of a complicated industry, and raises questions about the ethical and ecological issues of mass production of medicines derived from these healing plants, many of which are imperiled in the wild.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the first book to explore the interconnected web of the global herb industry and its many stakeholders, and is an invaluable resource for conscious consumers who want to better understand the social and environmental impacts of the products they buy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Armbrecht masterfully manages the challenges and complexity of her source material . . .
