`Greater demand for herbal medicine in West'

By Our Special Correspondent

VIJAYAWADA, OCT. 29. The Commissioner for Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy, D.R.Garg, has said that herbal medicine has a greater demand in western countries, as people are growing more health-conscious by the day.

He has observed that the Indian firms making herbal medicine have a great scope for exporting their products if they take up good manufacturing practices (GMP).

Talking to presspersons at Vundavalli in Guntur district near here on Friday after inaugurating the newly-built GMP block of Imis Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a local ayurvedic pharmacy, Mr. Garg said that there were 550 ayurvedic pharmacies in the State.

However, only 50-odd companies had adopted GMP.
