Tumblr Post: Herbal Medicines Can Be A Risky Business

This is one of those times where you'd ironically hope that herbal remedies are all complete placebos. The thing is, when it comes to putting random junk in your body, there are every so often unintended consequences. By all means, consult all the spirits you want. The spirits don't have a documented history of messing with heart medication. But grapefruit juice does. So that's why it's important to know how certain chemicals interact.

One of the biggest problems that have arisen from the herbal medicine movement is that numerous people end up integrating herbal medicines into their daily regimen without doing the necessary research. As it turns out certain herbs can really mess with people's medications and natural bodily functions. The line between effectiveness and danger is very thin when it comes to properly consuming various herbal medicines. Check out some more random Tumblr gems to hack through with a machete over here.
