The FDA recognizes foxglove as a toxin, not a treatment [1]. You don't want to consume foxglove because, like virtually all herbal supplements, the doses of the active ingredient can vary wildly.
So, we have its derivative, digoxin, available as a prescription medication. And many people do take it. It's helpful for some symptoms of heart failure. One thing it doesn't do, quite notably, is reduce mortality. Anyway, this is an available, commonly prescribed treatment
Not to belabor the point, but I was hoping to hear about alternative medicines that are not accepted but have evidence supporting them.
