Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe. Many of the pharmaceuticals we have today are actually derived from natural plants. So just like our pharmaceuticals we have to consider dose, side effects, interactions, and conditions to avoid use. When deciding whether to use a natural remedy it is important to do research and talk to your provider beforehand.
