Licensing Affairs at the Padideh Giyah Technology Development Center

Traditional medicines, which have formed the basis of healthcare worldwide since the earliest days of mankind, are still widely used and have significant importance in international trade. Recognition of their clinical, medicinal and economic value is still growing, although this varies widely between countries and therefore regulations for exploitation and export, together with international cooperation and coordination, are essential to protect them to ensure their availability for the future. The World Health Organization and the European Union have issued guidelines that provide basic criteria for assessing the quality, safety and efficacy of herbal medicines with the aim of assisting national regulatory authorities, scientific organisations and manufacturers in assessing documentation, submissions and dossiers relating to them. As such, legal controls on medicinal plants have not evolved around a structured control model. There are different ways in which countries define medicinal plants or medicinal plants or products derived from them. The present review highlights the situation in different countries, which have adopted different approaches to licensing, distribution, production and trade to ensure their safety, quality and efficacy.

The role of herbal medicines in traditional medicine

The medicinal treatment of disease began long ago with the use of plants. Folk healing practices around the world have often used plants as part of their traditions. Some of these traditions are briefly described below, and examples are provided of a collection of important healing practices around the world that have used plants for this purpose.
