herbs for adrenal support

Herbs are generally considered to be quite safe, and they can be an important addition to your natural allergy treatment regimen. However, be aware that natural substances are contraindicated for some conditions and they can affect the way your body utilizes certain medications. For example:

• Goldenseal should not be used if you have high blood pressure

• Licorice should not be used by those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or liver or kidney disorders

• Marshmallow can slow the absorption of medications that are taken at the same time

• Echinacea should not be used by those with tuberculosis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis

Because of the possible interactions between herbs and certain conditions, it is wise to check with your doctor before adding herbs to your natural allergy treament program.
