In western medicine term. Some peoples say you shouldn't mix with other herbs because you might be overdose. You can't take synthetic hormones with PM right? Some other herbs contains estrogen as well. 
As for chinese medicine term. I think it's more like you shouldnt 'simply' mix the herbs without any knowlegde. In Chinese medicine, it's all about Ying(Cold) or Yang(Heat). All herbs are categorized either Ying or Yang categories. Ying and Yang must be balanced for healthy human body. For examples like when you are having menstruation, your body become weak and it's in Ying(cold) state. So chinese phycisian will actually prescribe you suitable herbs that is in Yang(heat) category to adjust your body Ying&Yang flow.
Even acupunture method is so that your ying&yang flow are smooth.
