It's not always dangerous but it certainly has that potential. It comes under the heading of self experimentation. There's no guarantee that the herb or supplement will contain what the label says it contains. And when a person starts combining several different herbs and supplements there's no telling what effect the combination will have on their health.
Hundreds and hundreds of people, perhaps thousands, have died by combining various untested herbs and supplements.
