Something I've noticed in the Herbalist realm
People have been confusing herbalism with pharmaceutical effects. There is a strong pharma mentality out there. The tendency to blame herbal use for contraindications is rampant. In my opinion it's a misalignment taught & fed by conventional health agencies to cloud the healing effects of custom compounding of plant formulas for the public. .
The steady and building interference of the pharma mega-machine & it's affiliated gov't agencies has infected the mainstream media that entrain the public to very afraid of herbals - to be terrified of harm from using herbal medicine. To be wary of their own cultural and ancestral inheritance of plant medicine that is in all of our family backgrounds.
Herbal medicine is the safest most trustworthy modality there is toward bring nutritional plant energetic support to the human body & mind.
Herbalism has literally thousands upon thousands of years of human use backing it.
When the body is out off balance plant remedy is a soothing instructional food method to provide what is lacking.

Herbals are foods with therapeutic benefits as is ALL earth grown food. A wisely formulated plant tincture/extract does not become dangerous when bottled for ease of use.
A wise, experienced integrity driven Herbalist does not formulate with any plants that are toxic in nature or harmful in use.
Yes, there can be contraindications & adverse effects of pharmaceutical prescribed medications - those arise from the prescription. NOT the plant tincture/extract.
Herbalist compounded plant extracts, tinctures, teas, syrups, electuaries remain as whole foods. They have been built for ease of use & best absorbency, digestibility & maximum benefits.
Herbalism uses whole plants still balanced by nature - not isolated synthetic chemical compounds that when used are there own cause havoc.
Are there warnings in the produce dept. in grocery stores regarding contraindications in eating the foods offered? No.
Risks of herbal medicine use is extremely low.*
Food allergies can happen from the produce grocery dept. by the way.
It's time to talk about it from a holistic responsible non pharma tainted stance.
Remember, Herbalism is not the alternative support. It is the original medicine.
