Herb taker? Be sure and follow directions

Posted on May 29th 2007 11:54AM by Brian White
If you use herbal supplements, do you pay attention to the indications mentioned on the label? Have you done your own research into the proper dosage and usage of those supplements? Many American adults have not.

Herbs like echinacea are great for certain conditions, but the indications also need to be followed. Do you really know what that kava-kava is supposed to be used for? How about that St. John's Wort? Most herb users I know are very familiar with what they are taking and why. Do you?

With education comes empowerment regarding herbs, and if you're into natural cures and nutrition, it's all worth every bit of effort.
