Commission E.
The Commission E was first convened in 1978.
Composed of physicians, pharmacists, toxicologists, representatives of
the pharmaceutical industry and lay persons, the Commission actively researched
all available information on more than 300 herbs and approved or disapproved
them on the basis of whether absolute safety and reasonable efficacy of
the herb's use could be established. The monographs
published by the Commission include nomenclature, plant composition and
chemical constituents, uses and indications, contraindications, side effects,
interactions with other medicines, dosage, and medicinal action of each
herb. In Germany, where medicinal herbs are an integrated facet of modern
medicine, doctors and pharmacists rely on the Commission E's guidance to
prescribe and dispense herbs confidently.
