How are botanical supplements different from herbal medicines? 

Herbal medicines in the UK – also called Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMPs) - are registered under the Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) scheme. They help to treat minor ailments such as symptoms of colds or indigestion based on traditional use. 

Botanical supplements are classed as food supplements, like multivitamins. They are designed to help support different aspects of health and wellbeing. 

You will often find the same ingredients in herbal medicines and botanical supplements.
