The use of herbs does not generally involve "drug" actions or adverse effects. Although medicinal plants are widely used and assumed to be safe, however, they can potentially be toxic.

Precautions
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers herbal supplements food and doesn't have the same set of stringent regulations medication does. Botanicals aren't subject to the same testing and manufacturing guidelines as prescription drugs. An herb might be advertised as "natural" or "organic," but not all products are safe.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using herbal supplements:
- Get your doctor’s OK before trying any herbal treatments.
- Many medications, treatments, and conditions do not mix well with herbs and supplements.
- Do your research.
- Seek out a certified herbalist. Or registered herbalist.
- Read the label. Follow the instructions and don't take more than the prescribed dosage.
- Be aware of any side effects. Nausea, dizziness, or stomach pain may be a sign your body isn't responding well.
- Watch for allergic reactions. Call 911 if you have a severe allergic reaction or breathing problems.
- Report any problems. The FDA tracks side effects of dietary supplements, and consumers can report adverse reactions or safety concerns.
Look for the green cross around the Sewanee, Tennessee area.
Why the green cross?
Green Cross = Herbal Medicine, Herbal Pharmacy and First Aid. The style of cross is not universal but usually mimics the shortened arms of the Red Cross. Some pharmacies prefer the Bowl of Hygieia and/or the Rod of Asclepius, often green, and may also incorporate a green cross, just for good measure. Green is a fitting colour for a science with its historical use of plant extracts. Hospitals love green staff uniforms and green wall paint, following the theory that our eyes are most perceptive in detecting the short wavelengths of the color green, making things easier for the brain and resulting in a calming effect.
What about Red Cross?
Most know the The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is an emblem protected under the Geneva Conventions Act and cannot be used without permission. Contrary to popular belief, the Red Cross is not a public-domain First Aid symbol. We have no affiliation with the Red Cross.
Pharmacy Green Cross
Alternative First Aid The green cross is often used by pharmacies . We have no affiliation with the Pharmacy Green Cross
