Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 , Are you anemic? For those who have low iron or actual anemia, Dr. Schaller suggests considering taking iron if taking Artemisia. He further suggests that for women with periods lasting over six days per month, consult with their physicians to address possible estrogen dominance, which is problem commonly missed. Low progesterone combined with higher estrogen levels causes poor blood vessel clamping, fibrocystic breasts and fibroids. Do you think that your mood change might be associated with imbalanced hormones?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hello , My guess would be that the depression is a die-off reaction perhaps related to gut fungal toxins. Probably it will pass... But you know yourself best. Anti-depressant medicines can help a lot. I once read in a book by a yogi that artemisia, by causing cleansing energy toward the gut (and toxins out of the body), eventually helps the clear spiritual energy rise upward as is natural and desirable. Good luck! (Another herbalist recommends small drops of oregano oil to help kill off clostridium bacteria in the mouth and GI tract that is behind a lot of " weepiness " depression.) (Milk thistle can help the liver to deal with the detoxing... Cleansing enemas can help, too, plus epsom salt baths...)

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks to everyone who replied. I have stopped the rizols containing artemisia as it just doesn't seem right. It could be a major herx but I have been through other big herxes and they felt kind of different. The effects of the artemisia are quite odd - I lose some of my visual field and get a funny headache and get very low/anxious. It could be a different kind of herx, but I think equally it could be bad reaction to artemisia, which is a pretty strong medicine I think. Buhner says that people do react badly to it sometimes. It's annoying because I know some people find it very effective - however I think I will have to find another route!
