Herbal medicine is a very complicated subject.
There are some useful remedies out there. About a half a dozen herbs are slowly becoming part of mainstream medicine as good scientific research is conducted. Among these are St. John's wort , horse chestnut and saw palmetto. However, there are a LOT of unsupported claims for herbal medicines out there. In reality, some of the most poisonous substances known to humanity are plants.
