Herbal Therapies

Herbal medicine is an example of complementary and alternative medicine. Because an herb is “natural” does not always make it a safe choice. Certain herbs interact with prescription medications, and certain herbs interact with other herbs.

Not every herb is right for every person. Some people should not use certain herbs. Children, elderly people, and pregnant women have unique precautions regarding herbs.It is best to seek advice on herb use from a knowledgeable health care professional or pharmacist.
