Q: Herb interaction with birth control pills?

I want to try an herbal product for hemorrhoids. It is taken orally for 30 days at the most. The ingredients are: witch hazel, white oak bark, stone root, butchers broom, ginger, and cayenne. Could any of these herbs possibly decrease the effectiveness of my birth control pills?
