Plants are not always innocent. It might lead to serious health problems if you buy herbs, the content and benefits of which you do not know, and use them based on the thought that “herbal remedies are better than medications”.

To sum up, instead of considering herbal teas to be innocent, we must be aware of the reality that medications used today are made from herbs and consult a doctor before drinking herbal teas.
