"And I thought this would be a smoking thread ..... Jo x" Sorry to raise your hopes. Cannabis oil is supposed to be good though, that counts, not the same I know, but best I can do for you.  | |||
| |||
"I've heard it's good for your joints . Jo x" I've got two Autistic kids and read reports of it being helpful, unsure what it could do for Autism, still researching it. It's being pushed as a new wonder herb, for cancer as well as other things, just need to see some solid evidence to be sure it's not making someone super rich. | |||

"Some herbal remedies, prescribed by someone in whom the patient has trust, may well appear to make the patient feel better. It has nothing to do with the 'medicine'." Not sure I agree with that, some people can get a placebo effect from them, but that can be said for a lot of medicines. I looked into Echinacea for myself, and it seems to have worked for the past 13 years. I feel Herbs are part of an overall system, diet, exercise and emotional wellbeing are also important. Some one who is stressed all the time and sits alone all day eating doughnuts is going to fare less than someone who eats well, gets exercise and has emotion support from family and friends. The whole of a persons life needs changing, herbs are a small part of that. | |||
| |||
"If echinacea (or any of the others) worked, Smith Klein Beecham or Roche or ........... would have a patent on it." They can't because we can grow them ourselves and pick some in the wild, that's why they put herbalism down and promote their own expensive drugs in their place. | |||
"I've heard it's good for your joints . Jo x" *sniggers*  | |||
"And I thought this would be a smoking thread ..... Jo x" Lol that's what J thought too | |||
"I've heard it's good for your joints . Jo x *sniggers* "Can't believe I didn't get that, to late to delete my comment now  | |||

"Some herbal remedies, prescribed by someone in whom the patient has trust, may well appear to make the patient feel better. It has nothing to do with the 'medicine'." What utter twaddle, do you mean homeopathy by any chance, because many, many herbs have been rigorously investigated by scientific methods and their various levels of efficacy reported in peer reviewed journals, you can just look them up on PubMed. Chinese medicinal herbalism particularly employs some powerful herbs, and many modern medicines are developed from natural sources, eg the classic aspirin from willow bark. There is everything under the sun from anti-inflammatories to vasiodilators in the herbal materi medica. Sheesh, even plain old garlic has been shown in studies to be more effective than tetracycline at killing some types of gut bacteria! Oh and BTW echinacea is supposed to be of benefit during an infection, not to prevent it. For that you would use a general adaptogen such as Ashwaganda or Ginseng. | |||
"I'm currently taking a tincture prescribed by the Herbal Medicines department at Lincoln College. It tastes rank and is expensive but I'll try anything to get better. I've had M.E. / Fibromyalgia for 15 years. I've tried almost everything but nothing has done anything for me long term. " Sorry to hear that, do you know what's in the tincture? | |||

A whole list of things! I take 5ml, three times a day and have a little toddler tantrum about it each time. Lol | |||

"Snake oil, or the belief in snake oil, works for some folk." We're not talking about " snake oil", we're talking about remedies used for thousands of years before modern medicine came in to effect. | |||

"The chinese and Japanese have some really good systems for living, including diet, social support systems and Martial Arts, shame that they are starting to use a lot of western alternatives. The Japanese island of Okinawa has less cancer and heart disease than anywhere else in the world, and I mean seriously low, but that started to rise with the appearance of Mc Donald's and their various western ilk. | |||

"I don't use them for myself but i do give them to my horses. My sister is big on Animal herbalism, an old chap at the allotment gives his horses dandelion leaves for headache, have you heard of that?" Genuine silly question. How do you know if a horse has a headache? | |||
"I don't use them for myself but i do give them to my horses. My sister is big on Animal herbalism, an old chap at the allotment gives his horses dandelion leaves for headache, have you heard of that?" What would make someone think their house had a headache? | |||

"The basis of so much modern orthodox medicine has a history of herbal remedies . Up until a hundred years ago there wasn't much else available other than herbs . Having been involved for over 30 years I feel I can say they work , and not just on a placebo level , providing they are genuine and not just crap purchased off the internet . It's an extremely narrow mind which suggests snake oil and herbal medicine in the same breath . I wouldn't even entertain conversation with that attitude present . Creams , poultices , teas , tinctures , tablets and capsules have provided help us since we first established ourselves on the planet . And will continue to do so . Opiates , taxol , aspirin , charcoal , to name but a few current lifesaving medicines with a plant based active ingredient . " Spot on. Do you feel that their commercialisation doesn't help, like with Feng Shui, which has some very strong foundation in Chinese Geomancy, has become commercial and less believable due to the way it's presented. | |||
"I don't use them for myself but i do give them to my horses.

Groaning roof, painful windows, that sort of thing?  | |||

"Lavender for sleep but NOT if you are pregnant. All of the above mention do work very well. Amother member of the willow family is the lovely little plant Feverfew. Make a tea from it and off goes the pain, particularly good for headaches and joint pain" I wonder what part of the plant you use and how its processed, because toxins Could be present in such plants.  Borage is another plant with blue flowers that has herbal propertys unless you know What you are doing with such plants you need to be careful in what you do. | |||

"I get a lot of problems with post waxing/epilating/shaving and have just tested an Aloe Vera product and it's working wonders but it's so expensive I can't afford to buy any "I buy Aloe Vera from H&B, got two in their penny sale, it's good for after shaving as a moisturiser, £9.99 a throw is a bit steep, but it lasts me ages. I can see it would cost a lot for larger parts of the body. You can grow your own in the home, but you need quite a few plants for a steady supply. | |||
"I get a lot of problems with post waxing/epilating/shaving and have just tested an Aloe Vera product and it's working wonders but it's so expensive I can't afford to buy any "Aloe Vera has a mass of excellent research on it's medicinal properties. Can you not afford the £10 Holland and Barret version? As long as they sport the Aloe Science Council trademark the quality should be OK. | |||

Yea, it can cause extreme photosensitivity and severe sunburn too, though it is approved by the German 'NHS' for the treatment of mild depression and millions are prescribed it apparently. BTW madame, have you looked at my post called " What on Earth", and changed you pic by any chance, lol It was coincidental I assure you - besides, recent research shows men live longer if they stare at boobs for 10 mins a day! lol!
But they make my knees wobble, that can't be good.
Don't worry, the wobbling improves the balance over time!
Just made me laugh when they popped up after that post, lol
I used Korean Ginseng when feeling out of sorts, it definitely works, but not with constant use, once I'm up again I stop using it until I need it again. I was recommended Korean as it is more Yang energy, Siberian is yin and more suitable for women, I presume the rest are somewhere in between.
Yup Panax Ginseng is a classic example, a lot of people cannot take it, it gives them palpitations etc, can tip horses over into laminitis. Ashwaganda is a gentler adaptogen, or the modern JiaGuLan.

Is Panax the chinese ginseng?"Yup Chinese/Korean/Red as opposed to Siberian or American. Ashwaganda is known as Indian Ginseng, and JiaoGuLan is kinda in between the two and it's not in the old TCM system. | |||
