And if they do not, then they are ineffective. But the fact is that there are a large number of people who have started moving on to herbal medicine and the use of herbs to treat medical problems because they believe that there are no side effects of herbs. They think that there are no effective agents in herbs and they are safe. Although western medicine rejects their belief, most of the herbalists believe in it as well.
The thing is that there are some plants which can be compared to drugs to a certain extent, and the way they work can be likened to pharmaceuticals. But there are no side effects to these herbs if they are used in the form of constituents of the plant which are both purified as well as isolated.
The reactions of pharmaceutical drugs are very specific. The side effects which occur due to their use are not desired, and are a risk of their use. Herbs on the other hand have a number of actions when used, but there are very rare cases when they are negative.
