Example text

To achieve the desired benefit, an individual must take an adequate amount over a certain length of time. Each herb is different. While some are safe and effective for specific uses, others are not. The general perception that herbal drugs are very safe and free from side effects is not true. Herbs can produce undesirable side effects and can be toxic. A particular plant part will have many constituents and some of them may well be toxic. However, it may take more to cause toxicity, because herbs usually are not as potent as manufactured drugs, and compared with synthetic drugs the adverse effects of most herbal drugs are relatively infrequent [25–27].
