When taking herbs, buy brands that are reputable and contain pure ingredients. Organic are the best. Look for standardized extracts of medicinal plants, which means the product has been analyzed to ensure that it contains certain vital components.
In addition, tinctures (alcoholic extracts of plants) and freeze-dried extracts are considered more stable and concentrated, making them primary preferable. Never suddenly go off to a prescribed medication, and replace to herbal one; this can lead to severe withdrawal that may be life threatening.
Stop taking an herbal treatment if you notice any kind of allergic reaction, and make sure you report such reaction to your doctor. After all, herbs are very potent medicines, they are forms of natural drugs and are not foods or vitamins, so take them cautiously.
All of us are biologically and emotionally different. That's why certain dosage of a particular herb may be good for one person, it may not be necessarily helpful, and may be harmful, to another.
