Answer to Question 1

When people self-medicate or ask the advice of store clerks instead of seeking effective medical treatment, the consequences are sometimes serious and irreversible. Purchasing an herbal remedy may be less stressful than a visit to the doctor, but it may delay getting appropriate treatment and allow an illness to progress. Although retailers are not legally permitted to provide medical advice, sellers of herbal products routinely make improper claims that the products are able to treat, prevent, or cure specific illnesses. Patients are often unaware that herbal products may be unsafe or can interact with medications.
