In general, we tend to believe that eating a plant does not pose any danger to health because it is “natural”.

However, we must not forget that any synthetic drug is made from elements of Mother Nature. Whenever a plant to be used for curative purposes, we know two important things …

1 – First, all plants have “active”.
That is, they possess pharmacological activity. Generally, these principles are substances that are not central to its development, for example, those that are in reserve. A plant may have several active ingredients, so it’s going to have different pharmacological actions.

2 – Secondly, each part of the plant used a drug.
This means that each portion is taken, contain a different active ingredient. Not to be confused with a ‘drug’ laboratory, for example, if we take the gentian, the drug is the root.
Then, taking into account the above two points, may pose a health hazard, mixing different varieties regardless of the active ingredients of each, to take synthetic medicines and, in turn, consume medicinal plants. If there is any doubt about that, it is best to consult a doctor.
