herbs

Just wondering if anyone has any information on using any herbs for any part of this process. TIA

Uhhh what kinda herbs are you lookin' for? I can't recommend, er, adding them to brownies anymore.

I cook with fresh herbs a lot, and even keep a little garden indoors with basil and chives (tons more outside during the summer). I don't think herbs have any magical qualities if you are looking to take them as a supplement. What are you looking for help with?

I am looking for any suggestions on medicinal herbs. Like Hibiscus for blood pressure, Nettle infusions for nutrition. pre-surgery adaptogens, advisability of tinctures and decoctions. Basically anything that will help or hurt during this time. I have done lots of research but wondered about actual experiences as well as something I might not have seen in my own research.

Just to clarify further. I do not mean pills or stuff like that. I mean natural plants prepared as tonics, tea, and tinctures.  I have has success with a number of herbs for different things. Like hibiscus tea 3x a day has done wonders for my blood pressure. I usually make my own from plants I have grown or wildcrafted. 

Ahhhh ok. I was kidding around ;)

Beyond cooking, I don't use herbs and I'm not sold on their medicinal value though I'm glad to hear you have been able to lower your blood pressure. Maybe someone else with more experience will chime in. 

Thank you.

I am strongly resisting the temptation to debate the value of herbs and educate you that you are using herbal medicine already. lol 

I know I hate people who preach so I will spare you. 

As to the herbs in brownies - well they usually give me the munchies so they will have to stop.
