Alternative medicine became very popular the past ten or so years. It became widely acceptable to use herbs, vitamins and supplements to treat various ailments and conditions. Herbs are wonderful, they're from nature's pharmacy, people has been using them successfully for centuries. However...there is always a catch. If you don't know exactly what you need for your symptom, you don't know the effect, side effect and interaction with your medication, please don't use them before you gather all the facts. Herbs are medications, treat them as such. Get advice from a professional before you consider using them. I come across many sad example on my website, when people combine herbs and vitamins with prescription medications or take advice from a highschool dropout clerk in the healthfood store. Others research in books or on the net and believe the money hungry sharks out there who want to sell their product and know exactly what to say to catch your attention. It can be very dangerous and at times fatal to mix herbs with medications or overdose on vitamins-yes, overdose, the symptoms of certain vitamin overdose can be very ugly. You can read about some of them on my website www.try-alternative-healing.com. Be healthy, be safe using alternative medicine.
