PAs (Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids) in Medicinal Herbs

After consultation with our suppliers & the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association (EHTPA) and the British Herbal Medicine Association (BHMA), it has come to our attention that a small number of medicinal herbs may contain potentially harmful naturally occurring chemicals.

The chemicals, known as PAs (Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids), are naturally occurring in over 6,000 plant species and are thought to be produced by plants as a defence mechanism against herbivores.

General scientific consensus is that there may be no safe level of these chemicals and due to the fact that they act cumulatively, caution is advised.

The particular medicinal herbs of concern are:

Comfrey Root & Comfrey Leaf (Symphytum rad. and fol.)

Coltsfoot Leaf & Coltsfoot Flower (Tussilago farfara fol. and flos)

and

Borage (Borago officinalis fol.).
