Over the years I have tried many alternatives substances to augment or as singular modes of treatment. I have not found success and in most cases, these journeys have not turned out well for me.
I'm not trying to offend anyone who is having great success and feels this is the avenue to travel for them to aid in a path to wellness. I merely post this as advice to be careful and if untoward effects start to happen for you while trying out these substances, question everything you are ingesting to see if there is a cause and effect relationship.
I urge you to please not look at herbal meds as always benign. I think I did just that and it was easy for me to buy into the thought that some of these substances were not going to cause a problem as that is how some of them are marketed. They do contain warning statements but they are almost an aside to the great benefits promised. I guess I was not as well informed as I should have been and my mindset was not as it should have been.
Just my opinion based on my experience. I recently went through a very messed up situation due to an alternate product I though would be a good choice for me.
Again, not to offend. I know this is the alternative board. I think one should be as careful and questioning as with any RX med when it comes to alternative options.
