The best and safest way of choosing and taking these are to be advised by a health professional (Certified Herbalist or Naturopathic Doctor). The reason for this is because of the potential interactions herbs and supplements can have with medication i.e. essential fats and blood thinning drugs. Patients who are breastfeeding or pregnant should also consult a Naturopath if they are considering taking herbs or supplements.
