The future of the pharmaceutical industry seems firmly entrenched in molecular research—but herbalism and other natural healing methods may influence drug production and medical procedures in the years to come. This three-part series investigates the increasing importance of traditional, non-Western approaches to treating and curing diseases—and shows how, in some cases, indigenous cultures and drug manufacturers are at odds regarding the procurement of medicinal plant resources. 3-part series, 52 minutes each.
