Herbal products, such as st john's wort, can, and do, have pharmacological properties. There are many examples of drugs which are derived from herbal or other natural sources: aspirin, digoxin, morphine, penicillins, taxol, to name a few. The problem with herbal products is standardisation - are you getting the same dose of the active from batch to batch and from manufacturer to manufacturer? We are also likely to know less about interactions between herbal products and medicines than about interactions between medicines.0
