Are herbs always harmless? Abbey monks warn

Monks from an abbey in the region have issued a warning about the use of herbs. According to the Eindhovens Dagblad, it is not always true that herbs are harmless, as the saying 'if it doesn't help, it doesn't harm' suggests.
The abbey monks emphasize that herbs and herbal mixtures can sometimes have harmful effects. It is important to be cautious when using them, especially if one is not familiar with the correct dosage and application.
According to the source, herbs, when used incorrectly, can lead to health problems. The monks advise always seeking advice before using herbs, especially in case of long-term use or high doses.
The warning comes from the experience of the abbey, where herbs have been used and studied for centuries. The Eindhovens Dagblad reports that the monks want to share their knowledge to make people aware of the possible risks when using herbs.
