Preparations which contain plant materials exclusively are called herbal products [1]. Similarly, the knowledge, skills, beliefs and practices which are used to diagnose and treat diseases to main­tain the health of individuals are dened as traditional medicines (World Health Organization) [1]. According to the literature, herbal medicines are described as the preparations made according to the therapeutic knowledge and experiences of different generations over the centuries and the systems of medicines practiced indigenously in societies. These rm believes that there is a high demand for such medicines in many developing countries not only because they are less expensive but also as a result of better cultural acceptability and minimal side effects on the human body, along with better compatibility [2]. Herbal products are utilized to treat various ailments such as depression and mental health disorders as well as to achieve weight loss, and to operate as analgesics and cold and allergy treatments [2]. Serious health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart diseases, and endometriosis are also treated through the use of herbal medicines. This suggests that whatever the disease condition, there is always a herbal remedy which can alleviate it. Food supplements are classied by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as one aspect of herbal medicine [3]. The FDA does not usually govern the production of new herbal supplements through strict protocols of drug approval process, meaning that no pre- market approval is required [3]. One of the current FDA­approved drugs is Veregen® (sinecatechins ointment) [4]. Both benets and risks of herbal supple­ments are discussed widely on various platforms and strong opinions both in favor and against their use are noted. Although this debate will focus on their use, healthcare professionals do need to acknowledge that people around the world use them commonly, considering them to be safe and appropriate sources for healthcare products [5].
