People warned against believing herbal cures
By The Nation
Published on May 28, 2011


The Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Development Department has issued a warning against the use of herbal products that are said to be cures for cancer and other chronic conditions.

"This department has never certified any herbal product as cancer treatment," the department's directorgeneral Dr Wilanwan Juengprasert said.

The move came after authorities discovered a herbal product being fraudulently advertised as a cureall in the North. She explained that herbal medicines should only be used as an alternative treatment, and patients should use the medication correctly.

The department is currently collecting data about 100 Thai herbal remedies that have the potential to treat breast, liver and lung cancers. Without disclosing any details, the department said it was now investigating the effectiveness of certain herbs that Thai traditional practitioners allegedly use to treat cancer.

The department is also coming up with guidelines on the correct usage of Thai herbal medicines.

You can 'warn' but you'd be better off talking to a 'concrete post'
