The issue of safety of Chinese herbal remedies must be paramount in the mind of practitioners for two reasons. First and foremost, because, as practitioners, we must strive to give patients the best possible care and minimize possible side-effects and adverse reactions; secondly, we need to be seen to practise in a professional and responsible manner that ensures the maximum safety if we are to satisfy potential regulatory authorities. There are more and more negative reports regarding the alleged toxicity of herbal remedies (many of them misguided or plainly wrong) and we need, as practitioners, not only to practise in the safest way possible, but also to be seen to do so.
