Cautions About Herbal Remedies

Although herbal remedies are natural, they can have risks. Some products can cause side effects or interact with medicines you take. For example, ginger and chamomile may increase your bleeding risk, which could be a problem if you take blood thinning medicines like warfarin (Coumadin).

If you have an existing diagnosis or are on one or more medications, consult a professional naturopath or herbalist before ingesting herbs or nutritional supplements and consider consulting with your prescribing medical doctor.

A naturopath or herbalist will also ensure you take the right dose of the herbal medicine or nutrient to bring symptom relief whilst avoiding interactions. Do not mix herbal and pharmaceuticals without professional consultation and monitoring.
