Herbal medicines have an inherent quality of being pure and free of harmful chemicals and side effects. When consumers turn to herbal medicine such as Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani or traditional Chinese medicine they expect something that is natural and free from side effects

The name herbal is synonymous with purity and freedom from toxins and chemical contaminants. However increasingly the raw herbs and materials are being sourced from farms where they are grown commercially with modern agricultural practices where a lot of pesticides and plant growth regulators and a variety of other chemicals might be used for enhancing the productivity.

Even if the raw herbs are sourced from natural sources or from deep within the forests contamination from adjoining farms as well as from contaminated soil and water sources can lead to the presence of pesticides and other chemical contaminants in the raw herbs as well as the standardised extracts and finished single herb or poly herbal formulations.

To minimise the exposure of consumers to these pesticides and chemicals pharmacopoeia such as Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) et cetera have laid down the limits for the a number of common pesticides.
