red root

Anyone taking red root -

Are you taking it alone or with other tinctures?

-p

I've been taking varying doses of Red Root (depending on whether or not I was dealing with lymph swelling) since August of last year.

Red Root is part of Buhner's Babesia and Bartonella protocols and Buhner states that all of the herbs he recommends can be taken together.

I take my Red Root with all of my other tinctures.

Not that you asked but, I've taken Sage Woman Herbs and Woodland Essence Red Root....and have been making my own tincture for awhile now (with organic Red Root and organic grain alcohol)

I've been taking it on and off for years...I really like it - I find it pretty mild as far as anything that would cause symptoms/herxing/side effects are concerned...

I took it in tiny amounts in a formula called quintessence, but now I just take it by the dropperful several times a day, especially when I'm feeling really sluggish in the lymph department. Good to add extra during times of like swollen glands and the like!

PeteZa - you have a bothersome clavicle lymph nodes?

I think this is the first time I've read of another person with that particular one...that's my one bothersome lymph node - left clavicle - the troublesome side of my upper body.

But...guess what? It settled down a few months ago...after months of bart antibiotics.....
It's been sore and swollen for over 2 years....

Are your's better now?

Question for cd3764:
Where did you buy organic Red Root ??

I have been making my own tinctures also. I have been buying Red Root from www.mountainroseherbs.com, it is not organic,
www.monteagleherbs.co doesn't sell organic Red Root either,
I found another source for FRESH Red Root www.naturespiritherbs.com (I'm going to try it) but it is not organic.

While it's not as effective as in tincture form, but I love the way red root tastes when made into a tea! I don't know why, there's nothing particularly bold about the flavor. It's not sweet, not bitter, just something pleasant about it.

Though, not with the powder. The powder adds some off taste, which really makes me wonder if it is JUST the whole herb ground up, no filler. Maybe the powder is getting heated in ways that the cut form doesn't, burned even..

Anyway, I just wanted to comment on how much I like it as a tea. I can't speak on how much it's been doing for me other than that. I mean, it helps, but I would benefit a lot more from a tincture, if I could handle the alcohol.

Definitely one of those things that everyone should be on, whether they notice much or not, considering its price and the amount of people who do say that they benefit from it. That's saying you can use it as a tincture though. If not, I don't know. Still not that expensive, but is it all that effective is my concern, which goes without saying.. as I have made kinda obvious already..

Toodles..
