Abstract     Recently the world and have seen the mass development of lay herbal medicine, although it bears a hidden potential for the dangerous development of addiction to long-term immoderate herb usage. A patient, unhappy with traditional medicine that still has not found the chalice of immortality, is easily led to great hopes in natural medicines. The herbal market of counts on constant profits possible only with consistent and great usage. This mass obsession has led us to recognize poisonings by plants that were once used only during illnesses, rarely, and for short times. But, like tobacco, they cause permanent cell damage that becomes obvious only after longer periods of a accumulation.
