Veterinary herbalist here. Thanks for the succinct, accurate article on herbal safety. I see so many people just pouring herbs into their animals without working with someone who is knowledgeable! Sharing!

Super informative, I'm aware of the uses of St. John's Wort (although I haven't used it myself), but wasn't aware of the effects on other medication. And interestingly, referring to @Monica D.R.s comment about belladonna, this has been a staple in my home for years as an alternative to paracetamol, especially for headaches - but just adding my point, not answering!

I recently read about belladonna and aconite for seizures. What I had read was in reference to dogs and, I think, in homeopathic format. I wonder what your thoughts are since belladonna seemed to be a red flag in your post. Thank you!
