Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Goldenseal is on of the herbs that should NOT be taken for a long period on time. With ALL medicines, herbal or not, you need to give you body a break every now an then. Susan Want to start your own business? Learn how on Small Business.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 There is something that needs to be known. Each person's energy and biofields are different and may react differently to different herbs. Please remember that there are always alternatives to the tried and true or usually used herbs. Some could be what you're cooking with. Just a suggestion.
