Let's take a lesson in herbal supplements, shall we?
There are MANY different supplements on the market out there, and since they are "natural" people assume they are safe to take whatever they want. This, my friends, is just not true. Not only can certain herbs, or essential oils, interact poorly with each other, they can also cause serious issues with other medications you may be taking, or conditions that you have.
Take echinacea for example. A power plant that's in everything these days. I have an immune boost supplement that has it in it. But did you know, that if you're allergic to ragweed, it can cause you issues? Or that it may counteract with immunosuppressive drugs?
Okay, so....this was going to be longer....but I'm out of time....gotta get back to work....so I guess this is just PART ONE! Stick around for PART TWO tomorrow!
