Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hey, are there any guidelines on legal herbs in general? I believe I read something about Elaine discouraging most, and I think someone said nothing but mint... but I guess Elaine said echinacea was ok sometimes? are there other guidelines?

Elaine stated that she did not have adequate experience with most herbs to say. The only legal teas are mint and ginger. Homeopathic echinacea is OK, but echinacea the herb isn't. The problem as I understand it, is that echinacea-the-herb is an immune system booster, and many of the very expensive drugs which people with IBD take are immune system suppressants. Then you pop the OTC echinacea and then wonder why your Asacol, or whatever stopped working. I have some experience as an herbalist, and the one thing I do know is that just because something says " all natural " or " herbal, " does not mean it is completely without side effects or totally safe to use. Each herb and herbal combination has to be explicitly researched, the same way one would research both the active and inactive components of a prescription drug. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
