Yes.  My sources say, adverse effects are uncommon.  Allergies may occur in
patients allergic to plants belonging to the daisy family.  Studies unsing
large dosages in animals demonstrated no toxic effects.
Generally I'd say you are safe.  Unless you have a specific allergy to one
of the plants listed, by Suzanne the herbalist.
