ADVERSE REACTIONS

A news magazine in 2001 revealed over 2900 adverse events requiring medical care which were attributed to herbs the previous year. In addition, 104 deaths were attributed primarily to ephedra, St. John’s Wort, gingko, and ginseng (10). In 2003 the FDA removed

Ephedra and Ma Huang (Ephedra sinica) from the market due to 155 deaths directly attributed to it (11).

The most common adverse cutaneous reactions to herbal products include allergic and/or irritant contact dermatitis. Cross-sensitivity to the most sensitizing botanicals is not uncommon. For example, 12 of 106 dermatitis patients had positive patch test to tea tree oil (TTO) and all these had positive reactions to one or more of 12 other natural compounds including lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) (12). Severe cutaneous reactions including angioedema/urticaria, exfoliative erythroderma, linear IgA bullous dermatosis, lupus erythematosus, malignancies, pemphigus, Steven’s Johnson syndrome, Sweet’s syndrome, ulcerative stomatitis, and vasculitis have all been reported. Ten additional herbs have induced fatal reactions including aristolochia, arnica, cayenne, comfrey, henna, kava kava, mistletoe, rue, senna, and yohimbine. Other severe reactions include anaphylaxis, coma, rhabdomyolysis, and shock (3,13). Herbs known to pose dermatologic surgery dangers include St. John’s Wort, gingko, ginseng, garlic, echinacea, kava kava, and valerian (14). See mucocutaneous and severe complications in Table 2.

Even simple plants contain multiple reactive and interactive compounds, but natural medicine advocates and media frequently do not warn the public of the importance of interactions between different herbs and with over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Moreover, 70% of patients fail to disclose their use of herbal products preoperatively. Interactions with medical consequences probably are under-reported (14). There are many herb/food, herb/drug, and herb/herb interactions as in combinations of caution in Table 3 (3).

The medicinal botanicals of proven and potential dermatologic significance are listed by therapeutic uses in Table 4 (3). Multple herbs are effective for several different indications. Herbal medicines may be divided into several groups. Clinically validated ones have published human-controlled clinical trials. These herbs are among the most commonly used by the public and alternative medicine practitioners and would be expected to be the most commonly used in cosmeceuticals. Green and black tea, soy, pomegranate, and date have published human clinical trials for signs of photoaging as the only active. Avocado and black cohosh are included with two other actives in different topical formulations treating photoaging. Other herbs with published human studies treating dermatologic conditions with topical formulations include almond, allantoin and comfrey, aloe, anise, bitter orange, black nightshade, black seed, camptotheca, cayenne, curcumin, date palm, echinacea, german chamomile, horse chestnut, lemon balm, neem, oat, onion, oregon grape, pomegranate, St. John’s wort, tea tree, oolong tea, and western medicinal herbal mixtures. Borage, evening primrose, gotu kola, grape seed, ginko biloba, horse chestnut, black tea, and Chinese herbal mixtures have been documented to treat dermatologic conditions when administered orally.

The second group consists of herbs used in current cosmeceuticals with a scientific rationale supported only by animal, in vivo or in vitro studies, and/or proven efficacy in human systemic disease but without clinical data with topical application. These include apple, arnica, cactus pear, eucommia, ginseng, hibiscus, jojoba, licorice, milk thistle, myrtle, olive oil, papaya, prickly pear, rosemary, sandalwood, sarsaparilla, saw palmetto, spearmint, peppermint, wheat germ, and white birch.

The third group consists of herbs approved for therapy of a cutaneous condition by the German Commission E which are currently or potentially will be incorporated into cosmeceuticals. These include agrimony, bittersweet nightshade, butcher’s broom, cajuput, chaste tree, English plantain, fenugreek, flax, heartsease, horsetail, jambolan, lavender, marigold, oak, oat, pansy flower, Peruvian balsam, pineapple, poplar, sage, sesame seed, shepherd’s purse, sweet clover, walnut, and white nettle.
