Whenever some commercial goes on about "All natural ingredients", I think "Like Deadly Nightshade!" For the ones that add "And it's been used for centuries, so you know it works!" I double down with mercury.
Natural doesn't mean safe, and the fact that people have done something for ages doesn't mean it's a good solution. People are, on the whole, sadly not that bright.
