What with herbal medicine becoming so much more popular over the last decade or so, and with the prevalence of online stores, the fake "herbalists" and scammers have also risen in numbers. Selling sawdust tea and other scams! Please don't be sucked in by their scam! Stick to the real thing!
That is definitely good advice, but there is a wider question about that. How on earth do people - "ordinary mortals" with no knowledge about herbs - distinguish who the scammers are and who is selling the real deal? Can you offer any kind of guidelines on this matter? I would be quite grateful for that!
