SOME GUIDELINES FOR USING HERBAL MEDICINES
1. Approach any herbal medicine as you would
a prescription drug or over-the-counter (OTC) drug.Herbals can have adverse effects, drug interactions,
contraindications (conditions when they
should not be used), and all the other
problems that go along with the kinds of
medications you are used to
Herbals are virtually unregulated. You are not protected by
the same government controls exercised over prescription
and OTC drugs. This means there is no assurance that
what it says on the label is in the bottle. Also, because oflack of regulatory controls, herbals are marketed in a way
that may make them look like what they aren't and they are
held out with claims they can't fulfill. Their labels may not
disclose their adverse effects and everything else you
would expect on drug labels.
-

Lack of knowledge about herbals. Only now are
medical, pharmacy and other professional
schools gearing up to give their students the
kind of intense instructions they should have on
the subject.
Some herbal medicines are unsafe, ineffective, and
potential killers. When initiating a course of herbal
medicine treatment, start with one herb only so you can
clearly identify its adverse effects and benefits.
Otherwise, if you start with a bunch at one time, it may
not be clear which one is causing problems or which oneis working. The same process makes sense in initiating
drug therapy.

2. People with special conditions should proceed
with special caution, and get the advice of a
doctor, pharmacist or other qualified professionalbefore taking an herbal medicine.
People with special conditions include but are not limited to
Pregnant and nursing mothers
Anyone with impaired immune systemAnyone with impaired liver or kidney function
Anyone with chronic disease such as diabetes or heart disease,
Young children (especially infants)
Senior citizens
Anyone taking prescription medicines

4. Avoid the widespread fallacy that
if some is good, more is better.
5. While using an herbal medicine be alertfor any possible adverse effects
and report them to your
doctor immediately.
6. Don't put off needed medical treatment
with the hope that some self-prescribed
herbal medicine will solve your problem.
3. Don't fall for the idea that herbal
medicines are perfectly safe because they
are natural.
