Conclusion
Natural does not equal safe.
= Natural does not equal effective.
Herbal medicines may not be drugs but
do have a pharmacological effect.
Plants have a huge impact on human
health
Recognize to take a herbal medicine is to
get an effect, not just a food supplement.

herbal drug
Purchase the best quality available
Before taking the drug decide just
what benefit you hope to see.
Be aware of potential side effects.
Stop the drug if 1) you don’t
perceive the benefit you expected.
2) you experience side effects.
Don’t expect any long term benefits.
