C.S.A. + Stephania = numb, tingling hands?

Anyone have this reaction on C.S.A or Stephania or combined?

I have been on the same dose of C.S.A for a while (1 tsp 3 x a day) and just added in Stephania yesterday (it is Buhner's alternate to Japanese Knotweed. I was having some estrogenic side effects with the JK)

Yesterday I added 3 drops of Stephania to the CSA, no major reaction. Today I increased it to 10 drops, just once.

Within a half hour my hands are numb and tingling.

I can't find any research that says this is a side effect of any of these herbs, so could it be a herx?

Stephania has anti-microbial properties, so I would definitely attribute your reaction to a herx from increasing it so quickly!

All good points, thank you guys.

Mister Mike -I was up to a dropper full of the Jap. Knotweed without any herx reactions, so I somehow thought Stephania should be easy. Although it is an alternative, it is its own herb!

Also, on a side note, I switched to fresh leaf Houyttuynia from dried leaf and there was a big difference. General achiness and extreme irritability. I was up to 2 droppers of the dried leaf with no more herxing. I had slowly added it into the herbs a couple of days ago but stopped because I couldn't stand the horrendous mood I was in and it's not fair to my kids.

Thank you Rowingmom

As a matter of fact, I DID take Hawthorne after the tingling started. My go-to detox tonic is Hawthorne and Burbur tinctures together. Unfortunately I didn't notice a difference.

BUT, you know what I think played a big part in it going away? Magnesium oil! I thought I would give it a shot (before bedtime) and by the time I went to bed it was gone.

Might have been the Mag, or a combo of all the above, who knows.

If it happens again, I am going to go straight to the Mag first and see if there is quicker relief.

I started back on the Stephania again today, but just 3 drops per dose. Haven't noticed anything so far.
