Common Myths About Herbal Treatments
The internet has made natural remedies popular—but also confusing. Here are common myths we address during consultation.
Myth 1: “If it’s natural, it’s always safe.”
Many plants are powerful. Safety depends on:
- Your health history
- Other medications or supplements
- Correct preparation and dosing
Myth 2: “Herbs can replace all medical care.”
Ethical traditional practice does not claim to replace emergency care, surgery, or necessary prescriptions. Our approach is supportive and education-first.
Myth 3: “One herb cures everyone.”
There is no universal formula. Traditional healing is individualized—especially for digestion, stress, pain patterns, and women’s wellness.
Myth 4: “More is better.”
Overuse can irritate digestion, raise blood pressure, or cause unwanted effects. Follow-up matters.
How we keep care ethical
We emphasize:
- Clear expectations
- Safety screening
- Collaboration with your doctor when needed
