Natural is not always safe

I cannot tell you how many times I've heard, "It's natural, so it must be safe." This is so not true. In general, yes, natural is best. Nature, however, makes some nasty stuff. Many natural cures are very potent and can easily make you very sick if you use more than you should. More is not better in the natural world. Some seemingly safe products can do serious harm.

Basically, use caution with natural remedies, just like you would with medicine from your doctor. Not everything is safe for young children. Do your research and ask. Remember, just because it's natural does NOT mean that it can't hurt you.
