I've been dealing with pimples on my face and body, and I've heard doctors refer to it as acne. For the past two weeks, Ive been taking Hamdard Safi, and it looks like it's helping clear up my acne. However, I'm concerned because Ive read and heard from some folks, including a few doctors, that Safi might have a lot of arsenic, which could be bad for your body, especially your kidneys. Can you shed some light on whether it's actually safe to keep taking Safi?
