Herbs
An herb is a plant or a part of a plant that is used for its aroma, flavor or therapeutic properties. Herbal medicine products are dietary supplements. They are sold as pills, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, or as fresh or dried plants. People take them to improve their health.
Many believe that products labeled “natural” are always safe and good for them. This is not necessarily true. Medicinal herbs do not go through the same screening and testing as conventional medicines. Certain herbs, such as comfrey and ephedra can cause severe harm. Some herbs can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medications.
If you are considering using herbal medicines, first seek information from reliable sources. Be sure to tell your doctor about any herbs you are taking.
