If natural things like herbs are good for me, why do I hear warnings about mixing natural products with medications?
Natural doesn't mean safe. There are many things that grow in nature that are dangerous or poisonous to humans. While a natural product may be good for one person, it may not be for another. Or, you can have something like the case with grapefruit juice. The properties of the juice cause certain medications t be too potent and can cause harm.

If you want to take natural products, be sure to discuss this with your pharmacist or doctor to be sure that there are no interactions with the medications that you take.
