Background:

  • Herbal medicines are crucial in global healthcare, presenting unique ethical challenges from production to practice.
  • Traditional ethical frameworks, like the four principles (beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, justice), are often inadequate for analyzing herbal medicine ethics.
  • A structured approach is needed to address the complexities of ethical issues in the herbal medicine sector.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore a new moral framework for analyzing ethical challenges in herbal medicine.

  • Application of the new framework to identify and analyze ethical challenges within herbal medicine.

Main Results:

  • The traditional four principles framework is not optimally suited for the complexities of herbal medicine.
  • The proposed framework of care, respect, honesty, and fairness provides a clearer lens for ethical analysis in this field.
  • Application of the new framework highlights specific ethical challenges and necessary actions.

Conclusions:

  • A new ethical framework based on care, respect, honesty, and fairness is more appropriate for herbal medicine.
