Vitamins, minerals and herbs are a powerful resource for health and well-being. Many people use them for self care. However, even if most supplements and herbs are derived from natural sources, they can sometimes have side effects or be contraindicated in certain situations. For example there may be an interaction between an herbal medication and a prescription drug. Thus, the advice and consultation of a health care professional is very important.
