However Doctor Is The Best

Before take some alternative medical treatment using herbal supplement or medicinal plants, the first of all, clear your condition with your doctor. Ask them if taking a particular herbal supplement is safe given your health condition. People with heart, liver, or kidney trouble or malfunction, are usually not advised to take these, or at the minimum is to take these herbals in minimum amounts. All substances pass through the liver and kidney to be processed and filtered respectively.

Kava, which is used to relieve people from stress, has been pulled out from the Canadian, Singaporean, and German markets because it contains substances that cause liver damage. Certain herbals such as Ephedra used for losing weight, contains chemicals with heart-inducing effects that can increase heart rate, which in turn can exhaust the heart and cause heart attacks in several documented cases by the American Medical Association.

And the best ways to choose which the right herbal for your disease’s problem are:
  • Follow the directions for use
  • It has no approved curative effect

However the doctors have knowledge, skill and experiences better, so by ask their advice is the best things you can do before use the alternative medicine or herbal treatment that you’re hesitate to use it.
