Attention, some herbs can be dangerous to health

Plant drugs contain chemicals, as well as conventional drugs.

The fact that they are natural does not mean that they are not toxic and some are dangerous to health”, says Edward Ernst, professor of supplementary medicine.

For example, the coffee plant used to deal with anxiety was banned several years ago, since it has proved to cause liver problems.

Other plant preparations may not be toxic, but they may influence the effects of prescribed drugs.

For example, the cantorone used in depression affects the activity of at least 50% of conventional drugs.

For this reason, medical experts say that inexperienced people who use herbal drugs sometimes risk their health rather than improve it, transmit xp.

The second problem is sometimes the dubious plant origin, since the control of plant preparation is still much lower than conventional drugs when they enter the market.

This means that some of them can be contaminated, so it is advisable to buy tea and plant preparations only by safe producers.
