Objective: Today, in the field of traditional and complementary medicine, there has been a serious interest in medicinal plants and the treatment methods performed with the use of these plants. The use of natural resources in drug production studies and the promotion of these uses led to the advantage of reaching the drug at a reasonable cost with a rational method. However, these studies should be carried out with objective practices within the framework of scientific ethical rules. Investigating the toxicity dimension in studies related to the subject is also very important for human health to use these products. For this reason, the aim of the study is to determine the toxic symptoms of the My Guard® herbal mixture syrup which is a product used in the remember regeneration therapy method.
