If they want poison bolts they can make a herbal remedy. If they want to visit an island for the less valuable materials, they shouldn't be forced to make herbal remedies.

Traders aren't limited by a lack of things to trade, only a lack of trust from both sides. Herbal remedies are a terrible idea to try and trade, you're proving you have the chemistry skill and your trying to give them consumables. I love trading, but even I wont buy food from a chemist. Making herbal remedies have more uses will not encourage trading.
