Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 As with all herbs, and as with all people, moderation and common sense go a long way toward making one well. I do ingest some herbs that are on lists that shouldn't be consumed. I have low blood sugar and do consume oregon grape root when ill, comfrey, coffee, stuff like that. AND eo's. Madrone was on the list of possible interactions. I was taught NEVER to ingest Madrone. It's an astringent, high in tannins, good as a face wash, but not to ingest. Rick, do you know how prickly poppy is used? Janine www.HerbaTherapy.com join the newsletter for specials! HerbaTherapynews- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Excellent source of info! I was wondering abou the recommendation not to use pennyroyal though. I know the oil is a huge negative, but I dont see anything wrong with the herb itself as a moderate tea? I have heard many people enjoy it? As for the false positive drug tests, that is too funny! You would think that with all the technology and expertise they're boasting about, they would be able to differentiat between one drug and the next in your blood. Even if similiar, they should be able to pinpoint Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
