Also, some herbs should not be taken with certain pharmaceutical drugs. It is therefore recommended that your healthcare provider(s) be informed of any herbs you are taking. It is very important that you inform your Wild Roots People's Clinic herbalist immediately of any conditions you are suffering from, as well as any medications (prescription or over the counter) that you take, or if you could be pregnant or are breast-feeding.
