Herbs can treat but: Are you asking if herbs may cause peripheral neuropathy? It is usually caused by diabetes, side effects of pharmaceuticals & toxins like heavy metals. Some chinese & ayurvedic herbs are contaminated with heavy metals so those could be a cause. However, many herbs have been shown to be helpful in treating neuropathy.
