Herbal supplements for medicinal purposes has increased dramatically over the past 30 years. Herbal supplements are also known as dietary supplements by the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. The FDA defines a dietary supplement as "...any product taken by mouth that contains a so-called 'dietary ingredient' and its label clearly states that it is a dietary supplement." Per the provisions of DSHEA, herbal supplements -- unlike pharmaceutical drugs -- can be marketed without undergoing testing to prove their safety and efficacy. However, herbal supplements must be manufactured according to good manufacturing practices.
Herbal supplements are safe to take for the majority of people. Yes, you will find a few who have problems with them, but over all, they are very safe and effective to take. Herbal remedies and supplements work with the body to heal and cure many diseases and ailments, instead of overwhelm and only take care of symptoms like many medications do.
