Hello Rhaki,
We really need to be more careful nowadays since there are many dangerous drug interactions with herbal supplements. As providers, we must educate our patients regarding their supplements. Many are not well educated that some of their herbal supplements do not interfere with their medications and they believe that it is safe since they are "all natural." Some cultures are well known in taking herbal supplements for their well being. I remember when I had this Hispanic patient that was having so many symptoms and he reported that he has not been feeling well. That patient was also going to a different practitioner in Mexico that was telling him to take this herbal supplements. He was not aware that some of those herbal supplements he was taking was interfering with his current medications.
