I have probably already warned you until you are afraid to even try any of the herbal preparations, but just in case I haven't, I just want to caution you all once again. Always KNOW what & who & why & when. Always be sure that you know what you are doing before touching any herbs whatsoever. The table below is a very small one, but it does give a few details on some of the more dangerous herbs. Even if it's not listed, that does NOT mean that you can take it however much you desire without harm. ALWAYS use caution!! Look it up yourself if you have to, but be sure! |
