Safety Guide

This guide lists botanicals in three precautionary categories:

• Not for use during pregnancy


• Not for use while nursing


• For use only under supervision

All common, scientific, and brand names of each potentially harmful botanical are listed

alphabetically. Generally accepted common names that serve as monograph titles appear in bold

type. Scientific names are shown in italic type. Brand names are followed by the supplier's name

in parentheses. If an entry lists two page numbers, the first refers to a photograph of the plant or

product in the Identification Guide, the second to the herbal monograph. For additional

information on potential adverse effects, be sure to check the appropriate underlying monograph.
