Final reminder:
These herbs can support your health, but are not an exact substitute for prescription medications, especially in severe cases or emergencies.
Always consult your doctor if you are taking regular medications.
Herbs may interact with medications or cause unwanted side effects.
Natural ≠ risk-free – dose, condition, and personal medical history are crucial.
Use herbal knowledge with caution – and always listen to your body and your doctor.
