Safe and effective plant medicine

'm always grateful when asked questions relating to herb/drug safety as it gives me an opportunity to promote the safe use of plant medicine.

Safe, informed use of herbal medicine can not only lead to improved health but in many cases, it can battle the side effects of prescribed medications.

Itchy skin, muscle pain, constipation and low energy are the more common side effects that I hear complaints about, often followed by the question: "Is there something herbal I can take instead?".

Herbal medicine can only replace prescribed drugs if your GP agrees that coming off the medicines will not threaten your health.
