The alternative medicine sector is not fully regulated in most parts of the world. For almost all complementary therapies there are several organisations in each country which each allowing practitioners to register with them. There is a move, in the UK at least, to bring all of the therapies under one governing professional body making regulation easier.
The EHTPA was founded in 1993 when it became clear that with the development of the European Union, the legislative framework under which herbal medicine was practised in the UK and Europe was likely to undergo radical change. The main professional herbal practitioner associations in the UK affiliated with Irish and Danish herbal associations to form the European Herbal & Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association (EHTPA).
