title: Health hazards of unusual herbal teas.
abstract: Some unusual herbal teas have potentially serious toxic effects. Because most commercially available herbal products are safe, a high index of suspicion is required to detect subtle cases of herbal tea toxicity. Reported effects include anticoagulation, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, orthostatic hypotension, anticholinergic syndrome and cardiac arrhythmias.
