Re: Taking herbs or herbal preparations

With echinacea yes... I think everyone should take a break from herbs they are taking regularly... for example on 2-3 wks on then off a week.. echinacea is 2 wks on 1 wk off.. Your body is a marvelous tool.. it needs time to work on it's own also... Herbs etc help it and then it needs to help itself. Some herbs you can go a month and then break a week.. Now foods, is a different story.. I've seen people take Super tonic almost forever... but I still personally believe in taking a break on all.

Coming from a legal background, I hesitate to say that something is "true" or that there is "proof". Having said that, I have seen and experienced "evidence" that it indeed may be valid. But the same is said of advil, rolaids, prevacid, prozac, and most any "additional" suppliment. I have found for myself and those in my care that taking something, in our case all natural of course, should be done on an on-again-off-again basis. There are so many natural methods that achieve similar results that it is easy to switch from one to the other when time runs out.

Yes, I have taken a break when using any particular herb over a period.

Yes, it is, and the same happens with everything.
