Humans have been taking herbs safely for thousands of years and drugs for the last hundred or so years and only recently have we begun to take both of them together. There is no complete and exhaustive scientific research that describes how these two interact. This is a work in progress. Some of the most popular herbs and commonly taken drugs do now have some record of how they interact and we share that information with you.
Herbal safety knowledge comes from 4 main sources; empirical use, databases, scientific journal, and books. As in anything in life, both false and true statements can be found in any of these sources. There are two main views that predominate in the literature. One that leans to the living and actual, holistic experience of herbs and the other to a reductionistic understanding of isolated chemicals. Each view has something to contribute. Holding them up together, in order to learn from both; allows one to have the best of both views. In presenting the safety information for the Cleansing Kits, we have tried to do just that for you.
