The advantage to plant remedies is that they come from the integral word, namely nature, and therefore they act integrally with our bodies, something that man made chemical cocktails never can.

Moldy or fusty dried plants do loose all their usefulness and may even cause harm. The key here is to use a supplier who would not dare to risk his reputation through the sale of sub grade inventory. Also, remember that traditional Chinese herbal medicine developed on the plants and animal species that were available in China and other places in the far east. The plant species that is now available from the Amazonian rain forest, for example, has increased the choice of medicinal plant and non plant medicinal resources phoenomenally. To adhere to strict Chinese medicine when we now have the new disciplines based upon older Chinese knowledge that has now been combined with the "newer" resources from the "New World" range of potent medicinal plants doesn't really make too much sense in my eyes. But as I said I have nothing against Chinese traditional herbal medicine at all, only in the lack of supervision and quality control of the millions of outlets that sell Chinese remedies.
