Many patients assume just because a medication is “natural” it spares them the side effects associated with prescription medications.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most natural medications are not regulated, and hence, their side effects are not widely publicized.
In fact, plenty of natural herbs and medications can be harmful. For instance, people taking over the counter liquid potassium for leg cramps without physician supervision can be fatal.
Natural doesn’t necessarily mean safe. Remember that.
