While I appreciate our heritage, we must be careful. Not every 'natural' remedy is safe or effective. The push for evidence-based research is crucial. Let's not replace science with blind faith.

Promoting medicinal plant cultivation is a win-win! It can boost farmer incomes and reduce our dependency on imported chemical drugs. Hope the policies on the ground match the speech.
