Why are herbs written in Latin?
Depending on where you live and your heritage, plants have many different common names. For example: Milk Thistle is also known to some as St Mary's Thistle or Marian Thistle. Sometimes, two different plants have the same common name. For example: Knitbone could be either Symphytum offinalis or Eupatorium perfoliatum. Having latin names makes it easier to communicate which herb we are talking about, and to prevent dangerous adverse effects if you plan on using them for food or medicine. Knowing the plant family is also helpful because some people are allergic to certain plant families.

What is the negative effects of Herbal Medicine?
Negatives effects depend on which herb you are talking about. They are all different. Tannins in some herbs can prevent proper absorption of vitamins and minerals (iron for example). Yet sometimes tannins are exactly what you want (useful in diarrhea for example). It depends on what the plant is being used for. Some herbs adversely interact with certain pharmaceutical drugs, some adversely interact with existing health conditions. The other problem that I see with herbal medicine are people's perception of it. Those who love it seem to think that because it is natural it is therefore safe. Foxglove and Lily of the Valley are both natural, and both have been used in herbal medicine, and both can kill you if you don't know what you're doing! As herbal medicine gains in popularity, with more and more money to be made in the industry, there seems to be more and more in the way of junk herbal products. Reports from laboratory tests have shown a lack of the ingredient herb mentioned on the label, adulteration with pharmaceutical drugs, and herbs (often toxic) that have not been mentioned on the label. There is also the problem of low quality herbs that offer no benefit at all and are simply a waste of money. This is extremely frustrating to those of us who take pride in responsible herbal use and quality products. I've also noticed that when many people express what they think herbal medicine is, they describe self-diagnosing, self-prescribing (I call it Do It Yourself medicine), and the products they see on health food store shelves or advertised on the internet. This is quite different from going to see a highly qualified herbalist - and as apposed to someone who took a weekend course and decided to hang up a shingle as an "herbalist". Often, the negative effects of herbal medicine that we see in the mainstream media are over blown. For example: in Canada (I think the US too) you aren't supposed to use Comfrey (Symphytum officinalis) for internal use. Not even the leaf. Yet to my knowledge there has never been a case of liver damage due to the leaf of this plant in Canada, when used under the supervision of an herbalist. The few cases that I've seen reported weren't very clear on whether it even was Comfrey or some other plant. Furthermore the toxicity of the leaf (according to the toxicity studies I've seen) is such that you'd have to eat more than your weight in comfrey to reach toxic levels. Yet, the drug monograph I have for acetaminophen says that acetaminophen is the leading cause of liver damage! All in all, herbal medicine, when used responsibly has an excellent track record. Especially when used with the guidance of a highly qualified herbalist.
