<span style="margin:0px;border:1pt none windowtext;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:black"><span style="margin:0px;background-color:white">Using herbal medicines to heal the body is an ancient practice, but in the twenty-first century, it is also a worldwide
industry: In 2019, consumers spent over $9 billion on herbal supplements. 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.</span></span></p>

<span style="margin:0px;background-color:white">Author Ann Armbrecht, director of the Sustainable Herbs Program of the American Botanical Council, reveals the inner workings of a complicated industry, with players that range from small farms where herbs are
harvested by hand, to wild collectors who gather herbs using traditional practices, to industrial production fields where herbs are harvested by combines. Her investigation brings up questions about whether the health benefits of medicinal herbs can be preserved
when production expands to an industrial scale.</span><span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important"></span>

<span style="margin:0px;border:1pt none windowtext;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:black">Ann also explores the questions that drew her to herbalism in the first place. If, as she believes, herbal medicine offers insights into how to live in right relationship
with the earth, can those values stand up to capitalism? Can plants be both living entities with which humans can have a sacred relationship, <i>and</i> commodities governed by the laws of the marketplace? If it is possible, what are the conditions that allow
for right relationship within a commercial enterprise? </span><span style="margin:0px;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
