Jerbson asked:


Some herbal remedies are not approved for human consumption even though they have been used traditionally by humans for centuries with very little side effects. One of the herbs I’ve taken works better than a well know medication which has been know to cause bad side effects. Why won’t the FDA approve some things that have well documented histories of human use, but have no problem approving newly developed synthetics?
I’m just glad I found this something that works for me. I can see this remedie becoming band at some point. I say what it is but I don’t want to draw attention
The particular herb I take is sold as not for human consumption because it isn’t FDA approved. However the alkaloids in this herb have been scientifically proven, and well documented to work the same on certain receptors in the brain without a common side effect to a synthetic commonly prescribed for this condition.

Lonewolf asked:


I am currently looking into natural/herbal remedies to help my gf reduce her asthma attacks. Problem is she hates teas and coffee. Is there anything else out there that might work? She also has several different allergies and a heart condition. So I’m a little hesitant to try any of this stuff on her.

I have known a few people who swear by herbal remedies, but I am suspicious. Anybody out there have any personal stories regarding their experiences (positive or negative) with herbs?

Red asked:


I have allergies to various plants that come and go with no warning. I know that, since I am allergic to daisies, I shouldn’t use echinacea (not sure if I spelled that right — extract of purple coneflower, anyway) and ought to be careful with chamomile. When I was a child, my mother tried to ‘cure’ my hayfever by having me eat honey, and I almost died, so I’m more than a little worried about having another allergic reaction to herbal suppliments or natural treatments for illness, etc. However, I have some health problems that ‘traditional’ medicine doesn’t offer an effective treatment for, and I’d like to at least explore some other options. Should I stay away from herbal remedies and look for something else?

(I’d really appreciate it if replies are NOT someone just trying to sell me something. I’m looking for answers, not advertisments.)

fieldhouse- Do you know where I could buy the licorice sticks? Would it be at a natural food store?
You guys all had really great answers. I may try all of them. The licorice sticks sound like a great idea, i am going to try to go buy some tomorrow.

Having asthma is a pain in the butt enough, but I also have sinusitis and rhinitis; my sinuses are clogged all the time and I can barely breathe through my nose. It really sucks having to breathe loudly through one nostril or to mouth-breathe and I really hate side effects of my medications, does anyone happen to know any natural or herbal remedies for rhinitis and sinusitis?

Link asked:


I’ve had a throbbing headache for several days now, which I suspect may be due to a Sinus inflamation, or nasal congestion of some sort.

Any suggestions on how to treat it, preferably herbal or home remedies? Thanks.
I appreciate all the suggestions, I’ll be sure to try them out. Thanks again, and Happy Holidays!
