The blind faith in anything, including in the miraculous powers of herbs,which can do far more harm than good. " Everything is a poison and everything is a remedee. One from another compares only doze...",- this rule was formulated since the philosopher Paracelsus. Moreover, since traveling the century - then have not denied, but confirmed this rule.

The belief that herbs are always completely harmless (a drug obtained by chemical means - always harmful to the body) - one of the most persistent misconceptions of our time. Do not follow the explicit myth - it is simply dangerous, especially if you are an active supporter of self-medication.

It is believed that herbs contain only natural ingredients and, respectively, are harmless to a person. Firstly, some natural substances can cause harm to the body - in particular poisons. You can also take the medicine when the body needs something different - for example, struggling with insomnia, take an energizing herb ... Secondly, today the concentration of "chemistry" in the environment is very high, and very often artificial harmful substances naturally fall into medicinal plants.

People often underestimate the active qualities of herbs, some of them thinking "if it's good in a small dose, it should be even better in a bigger dose." Some of those people don't even believe in the effectiveness of herbal therapies. But many plants we use for their health benefits are highly poisonous when ingested in excess.

There is a large difference between consumption and over use, many people do not pay attention when consuming things. Moderation is the key for many and for some types of herbs, avoiding them at all costs is better than a possible (bad) outcome. Research is key, know what you are taking.
