For traditional herbal medicinal products (THMPs), only oral, topical and inhalation routes are allowed. Therefore the product can be formulated in capsule, tablet, suspension (oral) forms; cream, ointment, liniments, herbal patch (topical) forms; nasal spray, steam bath (inhalation) forms, amongst others. However, the formulation of herbals in the form of injections, suppositories, vaginal pessaries, eye/ear drops, is not permissible. These formulations go beyond self-diagnosis and adminstration, in some cases.
