Even when modern, Western medical services are available, Asians frequently consider using indigenous or alternative remedies, and folk or traditional medicine may be tried first for treatment of a psychiatric disorder. Such treatment must be noted and monitored to avoid adverse drug interactions between traditional Asian herbal medicines and Western psychotropic medications. Also necessary is assessment of drug efficacy and toxicity, as well as placebo effects. Several studies have found that compliance with psychopharmacotherapy may be more problematic in non-Westem than among Western populations. For example, Western medicines are believed to be more potent and more likely to cause side effects than are non-Western therapies, and interpretations and perceptions of side effects differ as well (Lee 1993 Smith et al. 1993). 

Consumer and Medicinal Products. Various consumer and medicinal products contain mercury or mercury compounds (i.e., skin lightening creams and soaps, herbal remedies, laxatives, tattooing dyes, fingerpaints, artists paints, and make-up paints) (Barr et al. 1973 Dyall-Smith and Scurry 1990 Lauwerys et al. 1987 Rastogi 1992 Wendroff 1990). 

A good herbalist treats people, not diseases. Ten patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis would get ten different protocols based on their unique constitutions and symptom pictures. Some parts of the treatments may overlap, but Chris Smith, who is 72 years old, chronically constipated, has impaired circulation, and suffers from insomnia in addition to rheumatoid arthritis, presents a very different picture than does Angela Jones, who is 32 years old, has terrible premenstrual and menstrual problems, hyperchlorhydria (excess stomach acid), and migraine headaches as well as rheumatoid arthritis. A well-done herbal protocol will use differential diagnosis and energetics to create a specific treatment for each person.

An IgE-mediated case of anaphylactic reaction to an herbal product containing passionflower was reported in an 8-year-old boy with a history of latex allergy. Patch testing confirmed the allergy to passionflower (Echechipia et al. 1996). Vasculitis and urticaria caused by a hypersensitivity reaction were reported in association with passionflower use (Smith et al. 1993).
