Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Does anybody have any experience treating hypertension with Rauwolfia Serpentina? I'm having excellent results for about 2 years now using doses of about ..05-.125mg daily. I've not seen any concerning side effects. Yet reserpine in larger doses when treating schizophrenia (in the old days), 10-20mg/day, can have negative side effects. I've researched this a bit and am just wondering about any experiences here.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Lon - Is this a Chinese Herb? I don't recognize the name. How did you come upon it, and who do you purchase it from?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Rauwolfia is an Ayurvedic herb also used in Tibetan medicine. It does appear in the Zhong yi da ci dian/Great Dictionary of Chinese Medicinals, as luo1 fu1 mu4, entry #4117. It is considered to be acrid, bitter, cold, and slightly toxic, On Jul 14, 2004, at 6:42 AM, Ray Rubio wrote: > Lon - > > Is this a Chinese Herb? I don't recognize the name.
