Mercury Herb: Practical guides on herbs, supplements, and safety
Mercury Herb brings together posts about herbal supplements, natural remedies, and how they can affect prescription medicines. If you like plant-based remedies or want to know whether a supplement will clash with your meds, this tag collects useful, straightforward articles—from Iceland moss and sage to how drugs can trigger hair loss or electrolyte shifts.
You’ll find two kinds of content here: clear how-to pieces (where to buy, what to expect) and safety-focused explainers (interactions, side effects, and when to see a pro). I’ll point you to the most practical reads and give quick safety rules so you can use herbal products without surprises.
Quick safety rules before you try a supplement
1) Tell your doctor or pharmacist what you take. List every prescription, over-the-counter drug, and herb. Some interactions are subtle—like herbs that affect liver enzymes or blood pressure—and only a clinician can judge risk for your situation.
2) Start low, go slow. If you try an herb, use the lowest useful dose for a short time to gauge effects. That makes spotting reactions easier and limits risk.
3) Pick quality products. Look for third-party testing (USP, NSF, or similar). Avoid vague labels and supplements that promise miracle cures. If a product sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
4) Watch for clear warning signs: new rashes, dizziness, sudden mood or sleep changes, or unexpected bleeding. Stop the product and seek medical advice if those show up.
