Debunking Common Misconceptions about Herbal Medicines

 

As part of its public education initiative, the Padideh Giah Technology Development Center has released a new set of educational materials focused on correcting common misconceptions about herbal medicine use. This campaign includes an article, a video script, and social media content, aiming to raise awareness about the safe and informed use of herbal products.

Widespread false beliefs—such as "herbal medicines have no side effects" or "everyone can use herbal remedies without professional advice"—can pose serious health risks. This initiative aligns with the Center’s social responsibility mission to promote responsible and evidence-based consumption of herbal medicine.

Padideh Giah emphasizes that scientific knowledge, proper documentation, and expert consultation are essential for maximizing the benefits of medicinal plants.
