Dr Ellie warns of the health risks linked to natural treatments – ‘Be careful'

The doctor also warned that it’s important to “be careful” of interactions with other medications.

Dr Ellie said: “They can sort of interact with things and maybe cause problems if you’ve got a liver disease or kidney disease.

“So it’s always worth speaking to your pharmacist.”

While some herbal remedies can be tricky, the benefits of others like turmeric and mint are well-pronounced.
