s 8 Exemption in respect of herbal remedies
8.—(1) The restrictions imposed by sections 5 and 6 do not apply to the import, sale, supply, manufacture or assembly of any herbal remedy where —(a) the remedy is manufactured or assembled on premises of which the person carrying on the business is the occupier and which the person is able to close so as to exclude the public; and (b) the person carrying on the business sells or supplies the remedy for administration to a particular person after being requested by or on behalf of that person and in that person’s presence to use that person’s judgment as to the treatment required. (2) Those restrictions also do not apply to the import, sale, supply, manufacture or assembly of any herbal remedy where the process to which the plant or plants are subjected in producing the remedy consists only of drying, crushing or comminuting, and the remedy is, or is to be, sold or supplied without any written recommendation (whether by means of a labelled container or package or a leaflet or in any other way) as to the use of the remedy.
