Do natural products have any side effects?

Asked 6 months ago
While natural products generally have fewer side effects than synthetic products, it is important to note that they can still have potential risks. Although derived from nature, certain ingredients can cause adverse reactions or allergies in some individuals. Additionally, it is essential to understand that the term "natural" does not guarantee safety or effectiveness. Always read product labels, follow instructions, and perform a patch test before using a new natural product to minimize the risk of any side effects. If you experience any negative symptoms while using natural products, such as skin irritations or discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.
