I can't imagine getting through a winter without elderberries and echinacea, but once again, in the United States, the FDA is attacking complementary and alternative health care with their new proposed regulations.  

You might soon have to go to the doctor for a prescription of vitamin C or your lavender essential oil.

Essential oils, herbs, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, minerals, nutritional supplements, plant enzymes and vitamins are redefined in this proposal as "medicine".  You might soon have to go to the doctor for a prescription of vitamin C or your lavender essential oil.  Anybody else who advises, advocates, counsels, distributes, markets, recommends the use of herbal or alternative remedies would be practicing medicine without a license and subject to incarceration and fines.

You have until April 30th to sign the petition or make comments. You can also find out more information from the Natural Solutions Foundation.
