combining herbs

I've recently added stephania and houttuynia to my regime, but I don't know if I can add them in to any of my herb combinations. I've read that some herbs work better when mixed with other herbs, but not as well with different herbs.

These are the herb combinations I've been taking.

-Japanese knotweed, cat's claw, eleuthero

-Hawthorne, nettle, milk thistle

-Sida, cryptolepis, alchornea


Is there any way to disguise the taste of stephania? It takes like burnt rubber when I take it in water. I'm just at 1 drop of the houttuynia, so its not too bad tasting yet.

I don't see why you can't mix them with the other herbs. When I was on the Synergy Protocol I would mix like 8 in one batch and then 8 more in another in water and drink them like I would a shot so I wouldn't taste them too much. You could also mix some stevia in if you want to hide some of the bitterness. The worst tasting herbs had to be barberry and Dragon's blood so that batch was very tough to take. Far worse than even cryptolepis which we know is pretty foul.
