If you use natural medicine it is important you educate yourself about them first. Natural does not always mean its safe, and using certain supplements may be inappropriate if you have a particular health condition or are taking a specific type of medication. Natural medicines can cause negative reactions.
The recommended remedies may take up to two months or longer before seeing optimal results so give it at least this long to determine whether one is working for you.
