An extensive review conducted in 2003 <strong>[<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bdrb.10050" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref.1</a>] </strong>revealed several studies that scientifically evaluated the safety of herbs, including blue cohosh, ginger, ginkgo biloba, Siberian ginseng, scutellaria (<em>Scutellaria lateriflora</em>), St. John's wort and valerian (<em>Valeriana officinalis</em>). Among them, ginkgo biloba is the only herb for which <strong>teratogenic or embryotoxic </strong>effects are not reported, that is, others can cause abnormalities in fetal development.</span></p>

<p>It is <strong>important that both patients and doctors</strong> are aware of the potential of herbs and the fact that not every natural remedy is harmless in any case. The perception that if they do not help, then herbs will certainly not do harm is wrong - it is their active substances that we rely on when we use them for treatment, and their action does not stop, even when it can harm the body, and it is important that these cases are prevented by us as intelligent human beings. :)</p>
