This paper gives a review of the present state of herbal medicine in Germany. Phytotherapeutic drugs (herbal remedies) are of considerable importance in Germany, both in self-medication and in medical prescriptions. They represent approx. 5.4% of the prescriptions by medical doctors, and 10% of the entire domestic drug market. The Federal Health Office of the German Ministry of Health has officially evaluated the efficacy and safety of approx. 300 medicinal plants used in Germany; their evaluations are used as criteria for the permission to market phytotherapeutic drugs in Germany. More than 90% of the medical prescriptions containing phytotherapeutic medicines are of ten therapeutic categories, with expectorants and drugs for peripheral and cerebral vascular diseases being the most important categories. The medicinal plants best known to lay people are valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.), chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) and mint (Mentha piperita L. and Mentha arvensis L. var. piperascens).
