Why it works
Home preparation according to the recipe has primarily an educational and cultural value; the same extraction and safety profile as registered medicinal products or standardised extracts cannot be automatically derived from it. Verify specific effects, drug interactions and contraindications on the herb's page and with a physician if you are undergoing concurrent treatment.
