It definitely raises a liability issue. A reminder that prescribing

outside one's scope of practice could have serious repercussions.

What if you are not given the right to prescribe western herbs in your

practice as in oregon where the law states " oriental pharmacopeia " (or

other states where no herbs at all are allowed like Ohio). And then a

patient who you give this advice to gets metastatic breast cancer.

 

But I hate to tell you, but Black Cohosh IS part of the " oriental

phamacopeia " --it's sheng ma!

 

So now the questions is, does the literature show any evidence of sheng

ma promoting neoplastic tumors or metastasis?
