You are on an awful lot of herbal products. Just because they are herbs doesnt make them safe-some can be quite toxic. Just because they are available over the counter doesnt make them safe. I would advise you to consult a naturopathic Dr. Taking one, or maybe two, herbal supplements is usually not harmful in a healthy adult but when you start mixing several supplements and pharmaceuticals, you can run into trouble. It is best to consult a professional who is well versed in the use of herbs. Wormwood oil contains the chemical thujone, which excites the central nervous system. However, it can also cause seizures and other adverse effects.
Wormwood is safe when taken in the amounts commonly found in food and beverages including bitters and vermouth, which are thujone-free. Wormwood containing thujone is UNSAFE when it is taken in large amounts or over a long period of time.

Stay away from publications like Prevention magazine when they are touting the "herb de jour" They would have you believe every edition that the featured herb is the best cure all in the world! Keep in mind there are dangers in mixing herbs and some are toxic. Herbs are powerful drugs in of themselves and should not be considered harmless.
"Natural" doesnt equal "Safe"
