Herbal and complementary remedies are currently regulated by 70 WHO [World Health Organisation] member states, and WHO is emphasising that it is only through regulation that quality, safety and efficacy can be ensured. However, there are additional problems conducting clinical trials with traditional remedies which are not present in trials for modern pharmaceuticals, not least that patients are often able to detect placebos due to a different taste.
