Side Effects Index

Presented here is an alphabetical list of every side effect cited in the herbal monographs. Under

each heading, herbs associated with the reaction are listed alphabetically by accepted common

name, with the scientific name shown in parentheses. For ease of comparison with prescription

and over-the-counter medications, the index employs the same nomenclature found in the Side

Effects Index of the PDR Companion Guide™. If an entry lists two page numbers, the first refers

to a photograph of the plant in the Herb Identification Guide, the second to the herbal

monograph.
