That's what I get for throwing off a note from work.  Some of the herbs used
in period are of dubious safety for ingestion; comfrey, tansy, rue, and
pennyroyal (and I have recipes using these) come to mind.  Other herbs can
cause contact dermatitis, photosensitivity, etc. and it is wise to know this
before you begin experimentation.

So using a modern herbal to verify the use of period herbs is a sensible
precaution.
