        abstract = {Herbal medicines are gaining popularity as treatments for various health conditions, including diabetes, arthritis, liver issues, coughs, memory loss, and stress. However, a common misconception persists: that herbal medicines are completely safe and don't require medical supervision. This has led to widespread self-medication, often resulting in disappointing outcomes, side effects, or unintended consequences. As a result, there is a growing recognition of the need for pharmacovigilance practices to monitor the safety of herbal medicines. However, current methods for monitoring drug safety were developed for synthetic drugs and may not be suitable for herbal medicines. Herbal medicines pose unique challenges due to differences in naming, perception, sourcing, and usage. To address these challenges, a tailored approach to pharmacovigilance is necessary.},
