Is It Safe?: Devil's Claw Rosehip
Is it safe?
Generally speaking, herbal remedies are safe but sometimes they cause
side-effects. These can include stomach upsets, sleeplessness and
pains in your muscles or joints. Some herbal remedies may also interact
with your prescribed medication.
If you’re thinking of using these remedies, always buy them from a
trusted manufacturer to make sure they’re a quality product, and discuss
their use with your doctor first.
A new system for regulation of traditional herbal medicines was
introduced in May 2014. This is administered by a government agency,
the MHRA. It requires that herbal medicines marketed in the UK have a
history of traditional use, are of good quality and are safe.
