传统药物的肝脏毒性作用是公认的，但草药通常被认为是无害的，并被宣传为无害的。这一假设的错误最近在媒体上引起了关注，但我们认为医生对草药的潜在毒性没有足够的认识。我们报告了四名女性，三名来自爱丁堡，一名来自泰恩赛德，她们在服用草药缓解压力后肝脏受损。所有人以前都健康状况良好；没有人记得曾接触过黄疸或肝炎；没有人出国旅游，也没有人在肠外或其他地方滥用药物，也没有人服用血液或血液制品；没有人过量饮酒。
The hepatotoxic effects of conventional drugs are well recognised, but herbal medicines are often assumed to be harmless and are advertised as such. The error of this assumption has recently received attention in the press,'but we think that doctors are not sufficiently aware of the potential toxicity of herbal medicines. We report on four women, three from Edinburgh and one from Tyneside, who sustained liver damage after taking herbal medicines for relieving stress. All had been in good health previously; none could recollect having been in contact with jaundice or hepatitis; none had travelled abroad, or had abused drugs parenterally or otherwise, or had been given blood or blood products; and none took alcohol in excess.
