Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I do like the whole form of a herb is possible as well as teas. Certain herbs like dandelion, dandelion leaf, nettle, cleavers etc I prefer as teas. The tourble sometimes is administration - and I don't drink that much liquid - still it is energy too not just quantity. Using tablets and powders, and capsules (I am not a tincture fan though some are - I don't like the alcohol or the glycerine though some herbs are more soluable that way or aspects of them are more soluable in alcohol than water) is more isolated but also more potent for some conditons or when you want a fast and replicable effect. The bigger the front the bigger the back. you do have to be more aware of interactions, medication, condition and also the cumulative effect of what the individial is taking. one herb on its own may not be too yin or too yang but if taking severel.... Another herb that seems to work well as a tea is a blend of two south american herbs - called Milagor De Sal Selva which I have been drinking - it has phenomenol effects for type 2 diabetes and although I have type 1 and dont notice immediate beenfits it has some general protective qualities - and I really like it now - it has kind of the taste of cloves without any heat at all mixed with the taste of good bancha. Really nice! I have heard there is a new more bioavailable form of Milk Thistle - Purecaps make it as well as some other companies. I am really impressed by their quality Ilanit Tof - Signature Ilanit Ms Ilanit Tof B.A. (Psychophysiology/Psychology) Advanced Diploma Healing with Wholefoods PhD Holistic Nutrition (candidate) Little Tree Oriental Healing Arts Helping you grow to new heights of wellbeing with Oriental Traditions and Modern Nutrition ilanit@... www.littletree.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
