Subject: Got a question for the herbal heads

I found and started using a product called
"HEP C" made by GAIA HERBS(www.gaiaherbs.com)
I bought it at the local health food store.

This is whats in it;

Astralgus root(200mg)
Chinese Skullcap root(100mg)
Chinese Bupleurum root(60mg)
Reishi mushroom(30mg)
Maitake mushroom(20mg)
Licorice root(20mg)

Anyone familiar with this product or these Herbs?

Everything I could find at this website, http://www.doctorshealthsupply.com/chineseherbs/herbs.htm
says they are geared toward the Liver and immune system.
So I'm guessing it can't hurt me and the price was right
at $17 USD for 60 capsules, you take two a day for 6 days
then take a day off and start over.

P.S. A BIG HOWDY TO THE "NR CREW"!!!!!

Yes all those herbals are "liver" herbals.
But I caution people to not do what you are doing.

Sure you can go out and buy some herbs and "give them a try" or "try some herbal formual" but I try to get folks to do the following.

Ask you Dr. who they would send you to if you want to "try herbals". Sure most M.D.'s are not to happy to hear this request, but most of them would rather have you do it like that then how most people go about it.

See if your Dr. knows who you are seeing, the two of them can write little post it notes to each other about your blood work or other health things.

The combination of herbals in that blend sounds o.k. but some of the herbals are on the market by "fly by night" companys that are not really carful about the way the herbals are mixed. Some herbals should not be heated, others should only be used in whole herb form. (In fact most herbals should be air dried and used as a tea for the best effect).
Many companys use oils and heat to extract the oils some even use alchol not a good thing for a liver.

Well you asked if it was a good blend yes it sounds good but again ask your Dr. and get a good heabal person to help you find the way down the garden path.

I am growing more and more of the things I'm using. This helps in two ways one gives me something to get outside and do and second it is better as I know what I've got.

Take care and be well.

Life Is A Gift.
