What is a Herb?

"Use the correct Herb. Buy your herbal remedies from a reputable company. If you collect or grow Herbs on your own, be absolutely positive in your identification.

• Use the correct part of the plant. For instance, don't substitute roots for leaves. When buying fresh Herbs, check to be sure which part of the Herb is required for a remedy—the whole Herb, flowers, fruit, leaves, stems, or roots.

• When using an herbal remedy for the first time, start with a small amount to test for possible allergic reactions.

• Don't take certain Herbs if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant."
