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.
