Important Considerations
- Natural remedies can have powerful effects and may interact with medications. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new remedy.
- Quality and sourcing matter. Look for high-quality, sustainably sourced remedies from reputable suppliers.
- Natural doesn't always mean safe. Some natural remedies can be harmful if used incorrectly or by certain individuals.
- Serious conditions require professional medical care. Natural remedies can complement conventional treatment but shouldn't replace necessary medical intervention.
