Pharmaceutical companies can make no profit from herbs which humans have historically consumed. Instead, they create new molecules. They have a hard time creating molecules that affect only the system they want to affect, therefore there are inevitably side effects.

I hypothesize that all too many of these side effects are allergic in nature. In this case, you are likely messing with your immune system, creating new allergies that are detrimental to the long term health of your immune system.

It would be wise to perform an allergy test for any drug you might take, just like you would to find out if you have a food allergy.
