Agreed but in mind we must have the essence of NATURAL while making any strategies.Because I feel ORGANIC is only a part of NATURAL ,specially in case of medicinal herbs.

I know what you're trying to get at...but "natural" has been co-opted by 
corporate marketing. It no longer means anything. Everything is now 
touted as "natural". Strychnine is natural...just not desirable. How 
to distinguish? I still lean towards "wildcrafted". However, 
fly-by-nighters denude areas of material, and may collect roadsides and 
other undesirable places. So...what is an acceptible distinction?
