There are no natural drugs in that every thing that works does so because of some medicinal compound. Two common examples are digitalis and statin compounds. Digitalis bark or leaves-I can't remember which-was chewed on by ancients for a weak heart.

Problem is there are no standardizations when it comes to the so called naturals.
