Show summary

Herbalist: Support Many herbal medicines work best when they have a chance to influence the body gently over several months. ████████ ████ ██ █████ ██████ █████████ ████ █████ ████ ███████ ████ █████ █████ ███ ████ ████ ████████ ██████████ ██ █████ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ██████ █████████ █████ ██████ ████████████ ████ █████ █████ ████ ███ █ ███ ██ ████ ██ ████ ███ ████ █ ██████ ██ ███████████

Summary

Some people taking daily medicinal herbs should take breaks from the herb, because some medicinal herbs are toxic when taken daily long-term.

Notable Assumptions

There are two groups that are key to the conclusion: herbs that risk toxicity when taken long-term, and people taking herbs that need to be taken daily. Do these two groups overlap? We have no idea. This is a necessary assumption, because if the groups don’t overlap, then the conclusion can’t follow from the support.
