Dear Friends:
    Evonne wonders about carrying herbs in the office for mothers, and to
recommend their use.
    When a lay person comes to an officially recognized professional, and
that professional recommends an herb, that is prescribing, is it not? There
is no difference between an herb and a drug. Who covers the professional if
the mother has a reaction?
    This has already been discussed on LACTNET.
    Warmly,
