Exciting Update for Western Herbal Medicine Practitioners

We’re pleased to announce that Wild Cherry Bark will soon be released from the TGA’s banned herb list!

In cooperation with Integria, and OneCam, we presented proposals in 2022-2023 to lift the ban on Wild Cherry Bark. The TGA had restricted the herb due to its amygdalin content. Although it wasn’t released in time for this year’s cold and flu season, The TGA has confirmed its release for 2026 with dosage restrictions.

We acknowledge our Vice President, Greg Fredericks, who took a lead role in lobbying for this change on behalf of both the CMA and OneCam. His leadership and our collective advocacy made this positive outcome possible.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for further updates as we push for the best interests of our profession.
