Are Herbal Supplements Safe – Get The Truth
You’ve got an ailment and considering trying herbal remedies.
But you have one question; “are herbal supplements safe?
If you ask a pharmacist how safe herbs or herbal supplements are, he’ll shake his head and tell you, “Oh, you better be careful! You could die from herbs.” He thinks of them as drugs.
If you ask a medical doctor about herbal supplement safety, you’ll probably hear that they shouldn’t be used at all. That’s simply because he doesn’t know anything about them.(See our natural remedies FAQ)
If you ask a certified herbalist how safe herbs are, you’ll hear the most appropriate response from someone who truly understands them.
He would say; “when you have the knowledge you need about herbs, they are very safe. That’s why they have been used as the primary healing modality throughout time!”
You see, in the wrong hands – someone who dabbles in herbology is quite similar to someone who uses herbs in witchcraft. Those herbs are dangerous.
Witches and warlocks don’t use medicinal herbs meant for human consumption. They use poisonous plants. That is the difference.
In herbal school, students are generally taught about 100 medicinal herbs. They must learn how to identify them, how and when to use them, and when not to use them (called contraindications).
Companies that specialize in herbal formulas utilize the services of trained and highly proficient herbalists. So when it comes to herbal safety, stay with the recommendations on the bottle.
Don’t think more is better. When herbal remedies are used according to label instructions, it is pretty safe.
Never buy your herbs from a medical doctor, pharmacist or anyone else who hasn’t been trained in herbs! And stay away from witches!
