Abstract
Herbal supplements, derived from plants and
botanicals, offer a natural approach to promoting health and wellness. These
supplements can provide essential nutrients, antioxidants, and other beneficial
compounds that support overall health. However, their effectiveness and safety
can vary widely depending on factors like quality, dosage, and individual
interactions. Our study aims to investigate the usage patterns, awareness, and
perceptions of herbal supplements among respondents, providing valuable
insights into the benefits and risks associated with their use. A survey-based
methodology was employed to collect data from respondents, assessing their
usage patterns, awareness of potential interactions, and perceived benefits of
herbal supplements. The results show that 65% of respondents use herbal
supplements, but only 23.6% are aware of potential interactions with
medications, and 29.3% are familiar with proper dosage and usage instructions.
Despite these concerns, 40.4% of respondents reported benefiting from herbal
supplements, highlighting the need for targeted education and awareness
initiatives to promote responsible and informed use. By addressing this
knowledge gap, we can harness the potential benefits of herbal supplements
while minimizing risks and ensuring optimal health outcomes.
