Herbal medicine is the use of plants to treat disease and enhance general health and wellbeing. 

Herbs can interact with other pharmaceutical medications and should be taken with care.

Always see your regular medical doctor (GP) about any health concerns and tell them about any herbal medicines you are taking or thinking of taking.

Never stop taking prescribed medications in favour of herbs without first discussing it with your GP.

Be careful about purchasing herbal medicines over the internet. Unregulated herbal medicines, such as some traditional folk medicines, may not be manufactured to the same quality and standard as regulated medicines.
