Nutramedix brand Houtt & question for Traveler

I can't answer everything on here but I actually enjoyed the smell of Houttyunia and not all of the brands I tried had the fishy smell - personally I don't *think* that smell pertains to freshness or potency but I could be wrong. I never used the nutramedix brand either. I did use the herbpharm artemesia. They are a pretty reputable company in the herb world. I didn't herx from it that I remember but I believe when I used at that point I was beyond the 'herxing' phase so to speak.

I based what I was saying on this from Buhner: buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/artesunate-vs-artemisinin/ and what he said here: buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/developing-resistance-to-herbs/

And on the fact that I took it for a full 12 months previously. This does not mean that it is good for every person to take long term as Buhner also cautions against that, but I did this before I ever found Buhner. My herbalist thought it was okay as long as I wasn't having negative issues with it, which I didn't.

I'm with Opugirl (so happy you are back to posting some!! Thank you!) and actually liked the taste of Houttuynia - but I buy the whole herb (known as cut/sifted) and made/make a medicinal tea from it. It reminds me of a lightly brewed black tea, actually. But again, I did not use the tincture.

She's a wonderful lady that came through this mess to have a perfectly health baby!!! It was really awesome to work with her and I'm so happy she has some time to visit with us again and to add in her experience as well.
